Netflix is developing a live-action Dungeons & Dragons series based on the Forgotten Realms setting, according to Deadline. The project, one of Netflix's largest fantasy TV investments, is spearheaded by Shawn Levy (director of Deadpool and Wolverine), writer-showrunner Drew Crevello (WeCrashed), and Hasbro. While Netflix and Hasbro remain tight-lipped, the series is reportedly in development following extensive negotiations. Success could potentially launch a wider D&D universe on the platform.
While this Netflix series shows promise, a sequel to the critically acclaimed Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves remains uncertain. Despite Chris Pine's enthusiasm for a return, Paramount's decision hinges on a reduced budget for any future installment. Meanwhile, Amazon's Secret Level anthology series features a D&D animated segment.
