Netflix Plans Live-Action Dungeons & Dragons Series

A new live-action Dungeons & Dragons series titled 'The Forgotten Realms' is in development at Netflix, with Shawn Levy as producer and Drew Crevello as writer and showrunner. The series will explore the iconic D&D setting, potentially incorporating beloved characters and stories, although it is not linked to the 2023 film 'Honor Among Thieves.' This renewed effort follows a previous attempt to create a series at Paramount+, which fell through due to ownership changes at Hasbro's former studio, eOne. Levy, known for his work on 'Stranger Things' and 'Deadpool & Wolverine,' is expected to bring a strong creative vision to the project. While details remain scarce, the involvement of Hasbro Entertainment is seen as a significant boost compared to earlier plans. Neither Netflix nor Hasbro has officially commented on the series as of now.
