Hasbro’s popular fantasy tabletop role-playing game Dungeons & Dragons is coming to the small screen in live-action after scoring an eight-episode, straight-to-series order from Paramount+.
The series is a co-production between eOne and Paramount Pictures, with eOne serving as the lead studio. The pilot episode is written and directed by Rawson Marshall Thurber, whose credits include “Red Notice,” “Central Intelligence,” “We’re the Millers,” and “Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story.”
