D&D: Harry Potter Director Tackling Netflix Live-Action TV Show,
Title & Details Revealed
----------------------------------------------------------------
Dungeons & Dragons is coming to Netflix with a Harry Potter director
handling the project. The live-action television show now has a
confirmed title, along with other details.

According to a recent report from Deadline, the streaming giant is
working on a Dungeons & Dragons project named Ravenloft. Alfonso
Cuaron is working as an executive producer on the upcoming TV show.

For the unversed, Cuaron famously directed the third installment of
Warner Bros.' film adaptation of J.K. Rowling's novel, Harry Potter
and the Prisoner of Azkaban. Alongside Cuaron, Ravenloft also
features Gabriel Marano (Hasbro Entertainment), Richard Schwartz,
Gaby Rodriguez, and John August as executive producers. August is
also in charge as the writer of the gothic horror drama.

Further updates from Deadline revealed that Ravenloft will follow an
independent path. It will not be related to The Forgotten Realms,
another D&D-based project that Netflix greenlit back in 2025. With
Shawn Levy as the executive producer and Drew Crevello as the writer,
the project is scrapped for now.

Netflix's Ravenloft brings the Dungeons & Dragons setting to
live-action TV
Ravenloft is a dark fantasy story set in the Dungeons & Dragons
universe. The upcoming live-action show looks to combine fantasy
adventure with gothic horror and tragic romance. The major focus of
the storyline will remain on the vampire Darklord Strahd von
Zarovich.

The character of Strahd von Zarovich doesn't simply begin the
journey as a villain. Rather, his life choices and the narrative's
turn of events gradually make him a cruel villain in Dungeons &
Dragons.

Ravenloft is one of the most popular settings in Dungeons & Dragons,
created in 1983 by Tracy and Laura Hickman. Over time, it became
much bigger than just a tabletop game setting. Based on Ravenloft,
almost 100+ official novels, game adventures, video games, and
rulebooks have been released. The character of Strahd was also
mentioned in Netflix's Stranger Things, as the series frequently
draws references to Dungeons & Dragons.
