Kids from “Stranger Things” play her, younger and older fantasy fans play, and now he will also play and. The streaming platform takes over the “Dungeons & Dragons” franchise – A huge, ready world that (if he is successful at Netfliks) can be exploited for years.
Netflix takes over “Dungeons & Dragons”
For now, there is a plan to produce one work series entitled “The Forgotten Realms”which has a direct reference to the D&D campaign. The owner of the brand, Hasbro, who also collaborated with Paramount in the production of the hit “Dungeons & Dragons: Thief Honor” connects with Netflix. The film, despite very good ratings and a warm reception of the audience, did not give companies the expected financial success.
Deadline’s informants speculate that Netflix has become interested in the topic thanks to “Stranger Things”. The main characters of the series start their adventures just playing in the basement in “Dungeons & Dragons” – it turned out to be an incentive for viewers, and not the other way around. Netflix is currently planning one acting series, but – if he succeeds – It will be the beginning of the entire universe.
And it is already huge now. D&D is over 50 years old and since then there have been dozens of official and hundreds of unofficial campaigns, several dozen books, numerous computer games (the last of which, “Baldur’s Gate 3” achieved a giant success just two years ago). This is an extensive world in which players and readers will find dozens of intelligent (and those less intelligent) races, heroes and adventures. Initially, D&D was a system in which “in the imagination” was played – the game master designed and led the adventure in which players played the first characters of the team. Over time, the system complicated and grew, it also turned out to be a grateful topic for use as a computer game. One thing is certain – the potential for a good series is huge. He proved this fantastic film from 2023. Will Netflix be able to capture the spirit of Faerun or will the franchise be the subject of mockery, like the acting film “The Witcher” – we will see. We invite you to participate in the poll and commenting.
