‘Dungeons & Dragons’ Live-Action Series Not Going Forward At Paramount+, Will Be Revamped & Shopped By Hasbro
deadline.comEXCLUSIVE: Paramount+ has opted not to proceed with its live-action series based on Hasbro’s wildly popular Dungeons & Dragons fantasy role-playing game franchise.
The move comes almost an year and a half after the Paramount streamer in January 2023 gave the project an eight-episode, straight-to-series order.
At the time, it was a co-production between Hasbro-owned eOne, which had developed the series, and Paramount Pictures.
