Netflix is developing a live-action Dungeons & Dragons series based on the Forgotten Realms setting, according to Deadline. The project, one of Netflix's largest fantasy investments, is spearheaded by Shawn Levy (director of Deadpool and Wolverine), writer-showrunner Drew Crevello (WeCrashed), and Hasbro. The series follows the success of the film Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves and the video game Baldur's Gate 3, both set in the Forgotten Realms. While Netflix and Hasbro remain tight-lipped, Deadline reports that Crevello has penned the pilot and will serve as showrunner, with potential for a larger D&D universe to be built upon its success.

Despite Chris Pine’s expressed interest in reprising his role and his confidence in a sequel, Paramount Pictures' CEO, Brian Robbins, has indicated a sequel is contingent upon a reduced budget. Meanwhile, Amazon's Secret Level anthology series features a D&D animated segment.
