US EditionBaldur's Gate to Be Turned Into TV Series - without the Game's Developers
Craig Mazin will continue Baldur’s Gate 3 story in an HBO series featuring both existing and new characters, drawing on Dungeons & Dragons lore and fan demand.
- Last year, HBO announced it is developing a Baldur's Gate series with Craig Mazin set to create, write, and showrun after his deal closed, while in final prep for Season 3 of The Last of Us.
- Mazin's long-time fandom motivated his adaptation of Baldur's Gate 3, after logging nearly 1000 hours and being a weekly Dungeon Master for 15 years, enjoying freedom from tied game development.
- The series will pick up immediately after Baldur's Gate 3, continuing the game's story and featuring new protagonists alongside returning characters from Baldur's Gate 3.
- Chris Perkins, consultant and former Wizards of the Coast senior story designer, will advise HBO's Baldur's Gate, which co-exists with The Forgotten Realms live-action Dungeons & Dragons series at Netflix.
- Given Baldur's Gate 3's success with over 15 million players and 34 awards, Mazin faces challenges like fan attachment and player choice in the series' direction.
