In between The magician, Castlevania, It is the next assassins Creed and resident Evil TV shows that are currently in production, Netflix has become a focus for content based on popular video game franchises. Now, a new rumor suggests that this trend may continue once again with a new series focusing on one of the most iconic fantasy properties in games.
A new report stated that Netflix is considering a partnership with Bethesda to create a new series based on The Elder Scrolls video game series. I started in 1994, The Elder Scrolls has been one of Bethesda’s oldest franchises, with prominent entries in the main series, including Morrowind, Forgetfulnessand Skyrim. When it comes to what the show would involve, it would be a variety of live-action. Netflix also wants this show to be as massive as The magician if it were to bear fruit.
As for the origin of the rumor, it is through a certain Daniel Ritchtman. In the past, Ritchtman has proven to be a very reliable source and has had some holes related to the film and television industries. So, although you should definitely accept this report with the usual grain of salt, there may well be some validity in it.
In terms of how Bethesda can approach a situation like that, well, there is a history that they may be willing to play ball with Netflix. For those who don’t remember, Bethesda announced in 2020 that it is working with Amazon to create a TV series based on its other major franchise, Fall. While it remains to be seen whether the publisher would like to work with two separate streaming companies to create TV shows simultaneously, the previous move shows that it is at least interested in exploring the realm of television a little more.
Obviously, there is no confirmation that this is happening yet, but if it does, you imagine that we will hear more officially from Bethesda or Netflix in the future.
