According to Deadline, Craig Mazin (Superhero Movie, Scary Movie 3), co-creator of HBO‘s The Last of Us, will be taking on another hugely popular franchise to adapt with Larian Studios’ Baldur’s Gate 3, which is set in the world of Dungeons & Dragons.

As per Deadline, HBO will be developing Baldur’s Gate, a drama series based on Wizards of the Coast’s video game franchise, with Mazin attached to create, write, executive produce and showrun the TV adaptation. Joining the series as executive producers are Jacqueline Lesko (One Eight Seven, Crazy, Stupid, Love.), Cecil O’Connor (The Fall Guy, Jurassic World: Dominion) and Hasbro Entertainment’s Gabriel Marano (Trivial Pursuit, Scrabble). Chris Perkins (Critical Role: One-Shot, Hello from the Magic Tavern) will be serving as a consultant on the series.

According to Deadline, the series will tell a story that takes place immediately after the events of Baldur’s Gate 3, as the characters old and new are dealing with the ramifications of the events in the third game. Like with The Last of Us, Mazin’s passion for Baldur’s Gate 3 and its characters led to his decision to adapt it as a TV series.

“After putting nearly 1000 hours into the incredible world of Baldur’s Gate 3, it is a dream come true to be able to continue the story that Larian and Wizards of The Coast created,” Mazin said via Deadline. “I am a devoted fan of D&D and the brilliant way that Swen Vincke and his gifted team adapted it. I can’t wait to help bring Baldur’s Gate and all of its incredible characters to life with as much respect and love as we can, and I’m deeply grateful to Gabe Marano and his team at Hasbro for entrusting me with this incredibly important property.”

As per Deadline, Mazin has freedom over the direction of the story since there is no new Baldur’s Gate in development. Compared to The Last of Us series, where he had to follow the set storyline from the existing games. As Deadline has reported, the post-apocalyptic drama is expected to end with its upcoming third season.
