HBO Developing Baldur’s Gate Series From The Last of Us Showrunner

A Baldur’s Gate TV series is coming from the mind behind HBO’s The Last of Us series.

The world of video game-to-TV adaptations continues to expand, with news coming out of Deadline that Craig Mazin, co-creator of the aforementioned Last of Us series, is creating a series based on Baldur’s Gate 3 for HBO. Mazin will create, write, showrun, and executive produce the forthcoming series.

Jacqueline Lesko, Cecil O’Connor, and Gabriel Marano will also be attached as executive producers. Marano is representing Hasbro Entertainment, which owns the Baldur’s Gate franchise as an extension of the Dungeons & Dragons franchise. Speaking of Dungeons & Dragons, Chris Perkins, the longtime Head of Story at Wizards of the Coast, will serve as a consultant on the series.

This is a developing story and will be updated shortly.
