Dungeons & Dragons live-action TV series ordered at Paramount+

Paramount Pictures will be giving the feature film Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves a theatrical release on March 31st - but while we wait to see how that film turns out, Paramount has already gone ahead and expanded their Dungeons & Dragons franchise. Deadline reports that the Paramount+ streaming service has given an eight-episode, straight-to-series order to a live-action Dungeons & Dragons TV series! The Dungeons & Dragons TV series will be a co-production between eOne and Paramount Pictures. The live-action series has been tipped to be the studio's largest-scope TV project ever, potentially launching a Dungeons & Dragons universe spanning multiple scripted and unscripted shows.' Featuring humans, elves, orcs and other fantastical creatures engaging in wars, treasure hunts and campaigns, the D&D game, one of Hasbro's key franchise brands hailing from Wizards of the Coast, is overseen by a host, known as the Dungeon Master, and employs a signature multisided dice. More than 50 million fans have played D&D since it was first launched 49 years ago, including videogames and livestream entertainment on Twitch and YouTube. Thurber is writing the Voltron movie with Ellen Shanman and producing it with Todd Lieberman. Share your thoughts on this news by leaving a comment below.
