The previously announced live-action Final Fantasy 14 TV series is now “dead,” according to its studio’s co-founder.
As for why the series got rejected by so many companies, Shamdasani explains: “The size and scale needed to do it right proved too much for anyone to want to risk,” before revealing: “Amazon came closest.”
Replying to Shamdasani’s tweet, screenwriter Jake Thornton added: “It was a real result of Covid unfortunately. We took it out just as studios began to zip up their purse strings.” Unfortunately, it looks like we won’t be getting that Final Fantasy 14 series any time soon.
As revealed last week,Final Fantasy 14 Dawntrail is bringing back the MMO content everyone is missing from Endwalker.

After studying Film Studies and Creative Writing at university, I was lucky enough to land a job as an intern at Player Two PR where I helped to release a number of indie titles. I then got even luckier when I became a Trainee News Writer at GamesRadar+ before being promoted to a fully-fledged News Writer after a year and a half of training. My expertise lies in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, cozy indies, and The Last of Us, but especially in the Kingdom Hearts series. I’m also known to write about the odd Korean drama for the Entertainment team every now and then.
