D&D Movie/TV Netflix Planning Forgotten Realms D&D TV Show With Stranger Things Producer

A Dungeons & Dragons TV show set in the Forgotten Realms is in development at Netflix. Deadline reports that the new TV series, titled The Forgotten Realms, is being produced by Shawn Levy, with Drew Crevello serving as writer and showrunner. No timeframe was given for the show's release. No cast has been announced and neither Hasbro nor Netflix has actually confirmed the project. If successful, the series could launch a wider D&D cinematic universe, long a goal for Hasbro.

Hasbro has tried unsuccessfully to get Dungeons & Dragons to television for several years. At one point, Paramount+ had a TV show in development with Rawson Marshall Thurber writing the pilot. While the project was ultimately scrapped, Crevello (who was set to be showrunner on that version of the show) stayed on the project and redeveloped it with a new concept. According to Deadline, this project is not tied to Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves, although the movie is set to debut on Netflix this month and is also set in the Forgotten Realms.

Dungeons & Dragons was also featured in an episode of Secret Level, an animated series focused on various game franchises that aired on Amazon Prime. Legendary, meanwhile, is adapting Hasbro's other major fantasy franchise Magic: The Gathering into a movie and TV project.

I have seen it, there is no sex in the movie at all. I can think of examples of PG-13 movies with R-Rated content, including one with piles of female nudity, but Labyrinth is not one of them.

@Paul Farquhar did not say there was "sex in it" (it is PG, by the way, not even PG-13) he said that it is about sex: literally everything in the film is about sex, thematically. It is a very sexy movie, but made for a broad audience.

Honor Among Thieves, to move up to PG-13, is about death and the process of grieving and accepting change and self-sacrifice. Very mature themes.

For everyone excited about a Netflix Forgotten Realms series, be sure to watch DaDHAT on Netflix this weekend and try and get all your co-players, friends and families to watch it as well. I don't think it's a coincidence that Honor Among Theives is now available on the platform right after they announced the FR show. How it does could have an effect on the FR budget or even if it get's made at all.
