This is a continuation from the last post but I just thought I should probably break up the posts as there was a lot of info for you to read in that last post so I didn't want to bog anyone down or confuse any readers with yet more info on this or more importantly bore you to death.
I was just reading on Deadline.com's website that as part of Entertainment One's $4 billion acquisition of the toy maker giant Hasbro former HBO President of Programming Michael Lombardo who has now been named President of Global Television for eOne is now looking to build up eOne's slate by making potential multiple series' and movies based on some of Hasbro's own IP like the scripted series based on the board game "Risk" that will be developed as part of a first look deal with eOne by "House Of Cards" creator Beau Willimon, an animated series that's based on "Clue" that's currently in works over at Fox Studios, a scripted series that's in development at Netflix based on the game "Magic: The Gathering" that will star Brandon Routh, a holiday special "Play D-oh Squished" that will be hosted by Sarah Hyland that will be developed over at Amazon's IMDb TV, and the unscripted series that will be based on "Mouse Trap" being developed at Fox Studios and the other unscripted series based on "Guess Who?" that will be developed at NBC.
In this same vein as trying to build up eOne's slate Michael Lombardo has secured "Red Notice" director Rawson Marshall Thurber to spearhead eOne's "Dungeons and Dragons" television series that could bring with it a whole host of A-list names as this first series is set to be an anchor for potential other series' and spin-offs as Michael Lombardo has said that "We don't want it to just be one show, so we are building out, developing out a multi-pronged approach for television, a number of scripted shows and unscripted, and we hope to be taking this out to the marketplace early next year".
Collider.com thinks that as Rawson Marshall Thurber made one of Netflix's most popular films "Red Notice" which stars Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, Gal Gadot and Ryan Reynolds and has managed to secure the three superstars as well as Thurber for two more films in the franchise that Netflix may be the frontrunner in streaming this and bringing this NEW! series and many more and possible spin-off series' to the masses who might be a little bit wary given the current pandemic to go back to cinemas and are choosing to stream content on various platforms at home such as Netflix, Amazon Prime, IMDb TV, Shudder etc etc.
