According toDeadline, the D&D live-action series will no longer be released on Paramount Plus. Instead, the show will undergo a “creative update” and then be shopped to other interested parties.
The D&D series was created by Red Notice director Rawson Marshall Thurber, who penned the pilot and was also set to direct the opening episode. Now, though, a “new creative team” will be brought in.
While little was known about the TV show, it’s unlikely the series – originally set for eight episodes – would have tied into last year’sDungeon and Dragons movie, which starred Chris Pine, Michelle Rodriguez, and Regé-Jean Page as a roving band of adventurers.
“I’ve heard some rumors about it,“Pine told GamesRadar+ last yearon the chances of a Dungeons and Dragons sequel. “But I don’t know anything yet. But I feel pretty confident that it may happen.” Pine also added he would “absolutely” be down to return as his bard character Edgin.
Rights-holders Hasbro does have plenty of other irons in the fire, however – includinga Monopoly movie produced by Barbie star Margot Robbie. Curiously, the shelf of toy and games-adjacent movies is growing increasingly full, asa Matchbox movieis also on the way from Mattel.
