A series version of Oscar-nominated baseball film Field of Dreams is being developed by writer-producer Michael Schur for NBCUniversal's streaming platform Peacock. 

 The streamer has given a straight-to-series order for Field of Dreams, with the film's producer Lawrence Gordon and Universal TV backing the project.

Schur will serve as the series' writer and also executive produce via his Fremulon banner. Released in 1989, Field of Dreams, was written and directed by Phil Alden Robinson. It was based on WP Kinsella's 1982 novel Shoeless Joe and starred Kevin Costner as a farmer who builds a baseball field in his Iowa cornfield that draws the ghosts of baseball legends.

Field of Dreams is the second Universal title to get a series treatment at Peacock following Seth MacFarlane's comedy feature Ted. It also marks the second Peacock series that Schur has created or co-created, after Rutherford Falls
