According to Deadline, HBO is developing a Baldur’s Gate 3 series, with Craig Mazin, writer and executive producer of The Last of Us, leading the project. Mazin will write and executive produce the series, and Chris Perkins, a major contributor to the success of Dungeons & Dragons, will act as consultant. Instead of adapting the game’s story, the series will continue the narrative of the 2023 release, Baldur’s Gate 3, exploring the aftermath of its events. The show will center on an original character who encounters familiar faces from the game as they grapple with the consequences of past events, introducing new characters as well. Mazin, a Dungeons & Dragons and Baldur’s Gate 3 enthusiast who has logged over 1,000 hours in the game, including an Honour Mode victory, is driven by his appreciation for the game’s world and characters. Unlike The Last of Us, this series will not follow a specific game narrative, allowing for a more expansive, long-form television format.
