TOPIC: Netflix's The Forgotten Realms

In one of Netflix’s biggest TV bets in the fantasy space to date, the streamer has taken in for development The Forgotten Realms, a live-action Dungeons & Dragons series, sources tell Deadline.

This project is currently in the filming stage. Pilot is supposable completed and additional episodes are in the works. Netflix and Hasbro are both being extremely tight lipped about this project with no word on casting or a release date yet.

This sounds awesome, thanks for the heads up!

Cool to hear. Hopefully the dungeon and dragons honor amongst thieves gets put on Netflix too since I have yet to see it.

It will be neat to see. It's great that all of our (or at least my) niche hobbies and interests from childhood are mainstream now.

Not sure on what is the holdup with this project, though it is still in the works. A release date is loosely set for late 2026 or the first half of 2027.

Still not much out about the series, but they have said it will be fully original stories set in the Forgotten Realms not tied to previous content.

Awesome!

Super cool!!!

I’m curious how closely they’ll stick to the source material, especially with so many iconic characters and places. I’m hoping they keep the tone fun and a bit weird, like the original stories
