Deadline reports that HBO is working on a Baldur’s Gate TV show that will continue the story of Baldur’s Gate 3, picking up where the acclaimed Larian RPG ends.

In charge of the show is Craig Mazin, co-creator of HBO’s The Last of Us show, who says he’s played “nearly 1,000 hours” of Baldur’s Gate 3.

“I am a devoted fan of D&D and the brilliant way that Swen Vincke and his gifted team adapted it,” says Mazin. Deadline also reports that the writer and producer has been playing D&D weekly for the past 15 years.

Aside from The Last of Us, Mazin is known for HBO’s Chernobyl miniseries, as well as a handful of comedy movies, including a couple of the Scary Movie parodies and the second two Hangover movies.

According to Deadline, the Baldur’s Gate show will feature new and existing characters and draw from the whole series, but mostly from Baldur’s Gate 3. The extraordinarily successful 2023 RPG is of course the reason for the show’s existence, as much love as there may be among PC Gamer readers for the BioWare games that preceded it over 25 years ago.

It sounds like the plan is to give us a new party of adventurers who run into the characters we know along the way. Per Deadline: “It is expected to keep the D&D tradition of taking new characters who are not that powerful and follow[ing] their journey through adventures that make them powerful. “

The publication also states that Mazin intends to reach out to Baldur’s Gate 3’s voice actors for possible involvement. As for Baldur’s Gate 3 developer Larian, it has moved on from D&D, and is currently working on a new RPG in its own Divinity series.
