Yes, you read that right. The co-creator of The Last of Us, Craig Mazin, will be creating, writing, and executive producing the TV adaptation of Baldur's Gate!
However, there is one difference between The Last of Us and this upcoming adaptation. While The Last of Us retold the popular video game story, Baldur's Gate will be a continuation of the games. Meaning the show will take place after the events of Baldur's Gate 3, as characters, both old and new, are dealing with the ramifications of the events in the third game.
Mazin has shown his excitement with the show, saying 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, according to Deadline.
