Netflix Witcher and Shadow & Bone veterans plotting World Of Darkness shows and movies
Various folks behind Netflix series including The Witcher and Shadow And Bone have plans to develop films or shows set in the World Of Darkness. That’s the goth fantasy universe which houses tabletop RPGs like Vampire: The Masquerade and Werewolf: The Apocalypse, as well as video games including the veneratedBloodlines. They haven’t yet announced any specific project yet (nor indicated where they might find homes), but here’s my pitch: a mystery show starring a Malkavian private eye.

“Eric and Christine are among the most extraordinary creators working today,” said Hivemind president Jason Brown. “They’re also gamers who have played in WOD since it began. It’s a rare opportunity when the connection between storyteller and story runs this deep, and that is the alchemy which has led to many of our favorite and most culturally resonant franchises.”
These plans could amount to nothing. They don’t have any distribution deals set yet, and haven’t announced any specific shows or movies. Hivemind did alsoannounce plansfor aFinal FantasyXIV show in 2019, and we’ve still not seen solid signs of life there. But hey, maybe they’ll finish a Vampire: The Masquerade show before Paradox finish Bloodlines 2.
