If you thought DreadXP’s The Mortuary Assistant getting a film adaptation was a no-brainer, then you might as well put Bloober Team’s The Medium getting a television adaptation in the same category. Yep, Bloober Team is teaming up with Platige Image to develop a TV series based on the game.
Tomasz Bagiński and Bloober Team’s Piotr Babieno will be overseeing the show. Bagiński is also executive producer on another adaptation of a video game franchise in The Witcher, which will see Season 3 arrive next year on Netflix.
“Both the film industry and the video game industry are close to my heart, and I am very happy that there is finally an opportunity to bring them both together,” says Babieno. “The story we told in the game was appreciated by players, and now more people will be able to hear about it. The latest hits of streaming platforms based on games such as Cyberpunk: Edgerunners or Arcane have shown that this is the perfect time for such productions.”
According to the agreement, the budget for developing The Medium into a television series will be covered by Bloober and Platige. After development work is finished, if Bloober and Platige start joint production of the series, it will be carried out under a co-production agreement, or through a “special purpose vehicle”.
Obviously, things are getting interesting with Bloober Team, especially since you-know-what doesn’t seem to be going away any time soon. The decision to adapt The Medium is again an obvious one, seeing as the game was a hit with fans (and us). It’s currently available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series and PC via Steam.
And speaking of no-brainers, just where is that Alan Wake TV adaptation?
