Dungeons & Dragons is coming to the small screen, according to a recent announcement from Hasbro.
There have been a number of D&D media projects released over the years, the most famous of which was the Dungeons and Dragons cartoon from the ’80s. There was also a series of D&D movies in the past, though these were all of questionable quality. D&D has traditionally been far better suited to video game adaptations, which have resulted in classics like the Baldur’s Gate and Neverwinter Nights series.
It was recently revealed that a live-action D&D show is now in development. This comes directly from a statement made by Hasbro CEO Brian Goldner. According to Comic Book, Goldner revealed during an earnings call that a new D&D series is currently being worked on.
“[The team is] also working on a couple of different approaches, because there is so much mythology in Canon to - Dungeons & Dragons for live action television,” Goldner said. “And there’s been very strong interest. We’ve talked about how many global streamers and terrestrial broadcasters have been very interested in Dungeons & Dragons.”
Goldner confirmed that the show won’t affect the production of the upcoming D&D movie, which is still expected to be released in 2022. There is currently no word regarding which network/streaming platform would be interested in broadcasting the show, nor any details about its characters or plot.
