Director Rawson Marshall Thurber, who directed the recently released Netflix film Red Notice, starring Ryan Reynolds, Dwayne Johnson, and Gal Gadot, will helm the upcoming Dungeons & Dragons television series.

Thurber will also develop the pilot script and executive produce the series, which is based on the wildly popular fantasy role-playing game franchise. The Dungeons & Dragons television series has been in the development for sometime now with writer Derek Kolstad (writer known for the John Wick franchise) writing and developing the series.

Meanwhile, a Dungeons & Dragons live-action film directed by Jonathan Goldstein and John Francis Daley wrapped production in August last year.

First published in 1974 by game designers Ernest Gary Gygax and David Arneson, Dungeons & Dragons has grown to arguably be one of the largest role-playing franchises in the world.
