A new live-action Dungeons & Dragons series, “The Forgotten Realms“, is now in development at Netflix. Deadline reports that the upcoming series has some heavy hitters behind it.
Producer Shawn Levy (Stranger Things, Deadpool & Wolverine) is teaming with writer/showrunner Drew Crevello (The Grudge 2) and Hasbro Entertainment for “The Forgotten Realms”.
Plot details are scarce at this time, but the series “will take place in the iconic campaign setting and centerpiece of the Dungeons & Dragons universe, a fantasy world that is home to some of the brand’s most famous characters and launchpad for some of D&D’s most popular adventures.”
What’s more is that “The Forgotten Realms“ was initially announced two years ago under a different streamer. “The Forgotten Realms“ received a straight-to-series order in early 2023 with eOne co-producing alongside Paramount Pictures, the studio behind the charming Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves. The series ultimately didn’t move forward due to ownership changes at eOne. Once Levy came aboard, the producer took the project to Netflix.
Neither Hasbro nor Netflix has commented on the revived series at this time, though.
Designed by Gary Gygax and Dave Arneson, Dungeons & Dragons was first published in 1974. Between 2000 and 2012, three Dungeons & Dragons films were released.
While we wait for additional details, Shawn Levy is also currently attached as director of Starman, a remake of John Carpenter’s sci-fi romance, and the final season of “Stranger Things”.
