News - Baldur's Gate 3 Is Getting An HBO Series And At Least One Person At Larian Is
<p>All those steamy campfire scenes are about to get a whole lot hotter; According to <a href="https://deadline.com/2026/02/baldurs-gate-3-tv-show-craig-mazin-hbo-1236710583/">Deadline</a>, Baldur's Gate 3 is getting an HBO series. The show will reportedly take place after the game's events and is set to further expand its already robust-story.

No, really, that's the plot. Naturally things escalate from there--gods and cosmic forces get involved, as they are wont to do--but it all comes back to worms. However, what truly sets the game apart--and led to it being our <a href="https://www.gamespot.com/articles/baldurs-gate-3-is-gamespots-game-of-the-year-2023/1100-6519739/">Game of the Year</a> back in 2023--is its excellent cast, sense of freedom, branching story, and the unparalleled agency it gave its players; all of this makes it an interesting choice for a television adaptation that will presumably be linear and could feature different actors in place of player's beloved party members.</p><a href="https://www.gamespot.com/articles/baldurs-gate-3-is-getting-an-hbo-series-and-you-can-probably-guess-whos-writing-it/1100-6537976/?ftag=CAD-01-10abi2f/">Continue Reading at GameSpot</a>
