HBO has hired Craig Mazin to shepherd a television continuation of Baldur's Gate 3 that picks up after the events of the game's ending. The adaptation is positioned as a direct follow-up rather than a retelling, with Hasbro/Wizards of the Coast involved and Larian Studios apparently not listed as a creative partner.

  • The planned series will deal with fallout from the game's finale and feature a mix of familiar and new characters navigating the consequences.
  • Mazin, best known for his work on The Last of Us, will serve as writer, executive producer, and showrunner for the project.
  • Executive producers attached include Jacqueline Lesko, Cecil O'Connor, and Hasbro Entertainment's Gabriel Marano; Chris Perkins is named as a consultant.
  • Wizards of the Coast/Hasbro owns the Baldur's Gate IP; reports indicate the original developer Larian Studios is not clearly involved in the TV effort.
  • Mazin reportedly intends to reach out to the game's voice cast about participation, aiming to bridge the adaptation with the source material’s performance team.
