HBO has announced a new television series based on the hit RPG Baldur’s Gate 3, which will continue the story immediately after the events of the game. The series is developed and led by Craig Mazin, known as the co-creator of HBO's adaptation of The Last of Us, and he is set to serve as showrunner, writer, and executive producer of the project.
According to reports, the series will not be a direct adaptation of the main plot of the game, but will develop a new story in the world of Forgotten Realms, combining new protagonists with returning characters from Baldur’s Gate 3. The plan is to follow low-level adventurers as they grow in power, while powerful characters from the game intertwine in their lives – sometimes helping, sometimes hindering.
Although Larian Studios, the developer of the original game, is not formally involved in the production, Mazin is reportedly in contact with some original voice actors from the game to discuss their roles in the series. HBO has not yet announced a release date or details about the cast, but fans are already speculating about the characters that might appear.
