Netflix is developing a live-action Dungeons & Dragons series based on the Forgotten Realms setting, according to Deadline. The project, one of Netflix's largest fantasy investments, is spearheaded by Shawn Levy (director of Deadpool and Wolverine), writer-showrunner Drew Crevello (WeCrashed), and Hasbro. The series follows the success of the film Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves and the video game Baldur's Gate 3, both set in the Forgotten Realms. While Netflix and Hasbro remain tight-lipped, Deadline reports that Crevello has penned the pilot and will serve as showrunner, with potential for a larger D&D universe to emerge.
