They did a good job with the Phillip K Dick Electric Dreams series. I hope they can give REH the same respect. We will see. I'm excited!
I know a lot of purist are skeptical and I understand their reason for being so with the way many of Howard's works have been poorly handled. That said you have to give things a chance and understand some elements will have to be tweaked as things always are with a change in medium.
My thing is you have to always give it a chance and at the very least any new stuff keeps Howard's legacy alive.
Look at all the Edgar Rice Burroughs stuff that is still out there, some good, some bad, but everyone knows who Tarzan is.
I'm excited about all the news of new Howard things coming out. Some will be good and some will be bad, but its introducing his tales to new generations.

As long as we get something that's closer to the Game of Thrones TV series than the Shannara TV series.

“The project hails from Colony co-creator Ryan Condal, Game of Thrones director Miguel Sapochnik, Fargo and The Handmaid’s Tale executive producer Warren Littlefield, Pathfinder Media ...”
“Created and written by Condal, Conan retells the classic character’s story via a return to his literary origins. Driven out of his tribal homelands, Conan wanders the mysterious and treacherous world of civilization where he searches for purpose in a place that rejects him as a mindless savage”
