Baldur's Gate will get its own TV series from the director of The Last of Us
, by Thibaut
We are getting yet another adaptation! Deadline has revealed that Baldur's Gate is set to become a TV series by a proven director.
Craig Mazin, co-creator of The Last of Us series, will be bringing Baldur's Gate to the small screen. Unlike the Naughty Dog license, the series will not follow the story of the games, but will instead be a direct sequel. The storyline will take place after the events of Baldur's Gate 3. This HBO-produced series will invite us to cross paths once again with the characters from the video game, who will have to face the consequences of their choices.
Mazin will be responsible for creation, writing, artistic direction, and executive production. Jacqueline Lesko, Cecil O'Connor, and Gabriel Marano from Hasbro Entertainment will support him as producers.
The director had a few words to say following the announcement.
"After putting nearly 1000 hours into the incredible world of Baldur’s Gate 3, it is a dream come true to be able to continue the story that Larian and Wizards of The Coast created. I am a devoted fan of D&D and the brilliant way that Swen Vincke and his gifted team adapted it. I can’t wait to help bring Baldur’s Gate and all of its incredible characters to life with as much respect and love as we can, and I’m deeply grateful to Gabe Marano and his team at Hasbro for entrusting me with this incredibly important property."
