Deadline reports that HBO is working on a Baldur's Gate TV show that will continue the story of Baldur's Gate 3, picking up where the acclaimed Larian RPG ends, though likely with a new party of adventurers taking center stage.

In charge of the show is Craig Mazin, co-creator of HBO's The Last of Us show, who says he's played "nearly 1,000 hours" of Baldur's Gate 3.
