Exciting news for fans of Baldur’s Gate 3: a live-action TV series is officially in the works at HBO, and it’s set to continue the story from the hit game. The project is being developed by Craig Mazin — best known as co-creator of The Last of Us and Chernobyl — in partnership with Hasbro Entertainment and HBO.
According to reports, the series will pick up immediately after the events of Baldur’s Gate 3, exploring the aftermath of the game’s ending with a mix of returning and new characters. Mazin, a longtime fan of Dungeons & Dragons and Baldur’s Gate 3, has said it’s “a dream come true” to bring the world and its characters to television, having played the game for hundreds of hours.
Interestingly, Larian Studios — the developer behind Baldur’s Gate 3 — is not directly involved in the adaptation, a fact that has sparked mixed reactions from fans and even comments from the studio’s leadership. While some hope the show stays true to the original’s character depth and branching narratives, others are cautious about how a continuation will handle the game’s many possible endings and beloved party members.
No release date has been announced yet, and details remain sparse, but with Mazin at the helm and The Last of Us adaptation experience on his resume, this could become one of the most ambitious video game–to–TV adaptations yet.
