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.

- 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.
