Paramount+ has given an eight-episode, straight-to-series order to an adaptation of Hasbro’s wildly common Dungeons & Dragons fantasy role-playing sport franchise. Deadline stories: Purple Discover filmmaker Rawson Marshall Thurber wrote the pilot script and is about to direct the primary episode of the sequence which can be a co-production between eOne and Paramount Photos. At Paramount+, the Dungeons & Dragons sequence will be a part of Halo, the online game adaptation, which is likely one of the streamer’s hottest originals. Over the past couple of years, there was a resurgence in bringing gaming titles to tv, and that is the most recent instance.
Adapting Dungeons & Dragons for tv has been a significant focus for eOne underneath President of International Tv Michael Lombardo following the corporate’s 2019 acquisition by Hasbro. The live-action sequence has been tipped to be the studio’s largest-scope TV mission ever, probably launching a “Dungeons & Dragons” universe spanning a number of scripted and unscripted reveals. Overseeing the sequence for eOne is Gabriel Marano, the corporate’s EVP Scripted Tv.
