Deadpool & Wolverine Director Working On Live-Action D&D Netflix Show
A new report claims that Netflix's next big fantasy TV show bet is a Dungeons & Dragons live-action series produced by Shawn Levy, the writer and director behind last year's mega blockbuster Deadpool & Wolverine. On February 13, Deadline reported that it had heard from sources that after a lengthy negotiation period, Netflix had finalized a deal for a live-action Dungeons & Dragons TV show. The show was created by Drew Crevello after plans for a Paramount+ D&D series fell apart in 2024. Shawn Levy became involved recently and will help produce it through his 21 Laps production company. Reportedly the plan is that if this series takes off, Netflix could build a whole live-action universe around the show. Crevello has written the pilot episode and it's entering development. But if you're excited for Chris Pine and others from the wonderful 2023 Dungeons & Dragons film to show up, well, I've got bad news. It's reported that this new, yet-to-be-officially-confirmed series won't be connected to Paramount's movie. That makes me very sad. The reported Dungeons & Dragons series will be set in the famous 'Forgotten Realms' campaign setting. This is by far the most popular D&D setting and is the same universe that both Baldur's Gate 3 and the 2023 movie are set in. Since 2016 Levy has been working closely with Netflix. He's an executive producer on Stranger Things and has directed some episodes of the series. He also directed The Adam Project in 2022 for the streamer. It's not surprising that he was able to help bring this new D&D series to Netflix considering his past work with the company. And it feels like a perfect fit, considering how much Dungeons & Dragons plays a part in Stranger Things. . For the latest news, Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.

"Dungeons & Dragons" Live-Action Series in Works at Netflix
Yara Sameh The live-action 'Dungeons & Dragons' TV adaptation has found new life. Sources say that a new iteration of the project is currently in development at Netflix. There had previously been a 'DnD' series set up at Paramount+ with a series order, but that project ultimately did not move forward due to strategic shifts at Paramount as well as the sale of co-studio eOne by Hasbro. Hasbro Entertainment is also producing the new project. The series is currently titled 'The Forgotten Realms,' named after the famous 'DnD' campaign setting. Drew Crevello, who was previously attached as the showrunner of the Paramount+ project, will serve as writer, executive producer, and showrunner on the Netflix version. Shawn Levy will executive produce along with Dan Levine via 21 Laps under the company's overall TV deal with Netflix. 'Dungeons & Dragons' was originally created in 1974 by E. Gary Gygax and Dave Arneson in Lake Geneva, WI. Considered one of the most influential games of all time, 'DnD' sees players create characters from a wide range of fantasy races like elves, orcs, and dwarves and take part in elaborate role playing through a wide range of settings and stories. Previous 'Dungeons & Dragons' onscreen projects include an animated TV series in the 1980s and a series of live-action movies beginning in 2000. Most recently, the well-received action-comedy 'Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves' grossed over $205 million worldwide in 2023.
