Netflix is developing a live-action Dungeons & Dragons series, according to recent reports.
Deadline revealed that The Forgotten Realms is being crafted by Shawn Levy, director of Deadpool & Wolverine, alongside writer-showrunner Drew Crevello (WeCrashed) and Hasbro.
The Forgotten Realms serves as the iconic fantasy backdrop for the Dungeons & Dragons role-playing game, previously featured in the movie Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves and Larian’s hit video game, Baldur’s Gate 3.
Deadline described this “potential” Dungeons & Dragons project as “one of Netflix’s most ambitious fantasy TV ventures yet.” Crevello is said to have penned the pilot and will act as showrunner, though Netflix and Hasbro have not provided official statements.
“Following extensive negotiations, typical for such a high-profile IP, the fantasy series is now advancing at Netflix for further development,” reported Deadline’s Nellie Andreeva. “If successful, it could spark a broader D&D universe.”
While the live-action Dungeons & Dragons series appears promising, there’s no confirmed news on a follow-up to Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves, a fan-favorite film that underperformed at the box office for Paramount Pictures.
In November 2023, Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves actor Chris Pine expressed enthusiasm for a sequel, stating he was “fairly optimistic” about its prospects, but no updates have emerged since.
Paramount CEO Brian Robbins indicated openness to another Dungeons & Dragons film, provided its budget is reduced. “We need to find a way to produce it more cost-effectively,” he noted.
Meanwhile, Amazon’s Secret Level anthology series has incorporated a Dungeons & Dragons animated segment.
