A huge bit of surprising news this week was Deadline's exclusive reveal of a Baldur's Gate 3 TV show adaptation that's officially in the works, with the production being created, written, and produced by Craig Mazin for HBO, and former Hasbro Head of Story Chris Perkins consulting. Though Mazin originally worked on many comedy films, he's best known for his drama HBO series', including 2019's Chernobyl and the ongoing adaptation of Naughty Dog's The Last of Us game.
The show will reportedly pick up right where the events of Baldur's Gate 3 left off, and will prominently feature both existing characters from Larian Studios' Xbox, PC, and PS5 Dungeons & Dragons RPG (presumably including its companions) as well as new faces. Its announcement came as a huge surprise on Thursday evening — and fans of the game weren't the only ones that didn't see it coming.
