Baldur's Gate TV Series Announced, Developers Excluded; New Series, 'The 'Burbs' and 'Dracula' Reviews Also Released
LONDON - February 6, 2026 - The critically acclaimed video game series Baldur's Gate is being adapted into a television show by Craig Mazin, known for his work on HBO's "The Last of Us" adaptation, according to multiple news sources. The series will follow the events of Baldur's Gate 3, using the game's lore but featuring new storylines. However, the show will be produced without direct involvement from the game's developer, Larian Studios, which has sparked concern among fans.
The upcoming Baldur's Gate adaptation is not the only entertainment news making headlines. Reviews have also been released for Luc Besson's Dracula, starring Caleb Landry Jones, and a new Peacock series inspired by the film The 'Burbs.
Owen Gleiberman, Chief Film Critic at Variety, described Dracula as a "romantic," derivative take on the vampire legend. Gleiberman noted that Caleb Landry Jones' portrayal of Dracula was "stylishly fey," echoing Gary Oldman's earlier performance.
Meanwhile, the Peacock series inspired by The 'Burbs introduces a new mother, Samira, played by Keke Palmer, who moves to the suburbs with her husband, Rob, played by Jack Whitehall. The series, according to Time, is a "remake with a surprisingly sweet twist." Samira, a Black lawyer on maternity leave, and Rob, a white British book editor, encounter neighbors who, according to the source, "call to mind a contemporary horror-comedy classic."
In other news, Ilia Malinin, a 21-year-old American figure skater, is the heavy favorite to win the gold medal for the United States at the Milan Cortina Olympics, according to Vox. Alex Abad-Santos, a senior correspondent at Vox, noted that Malinin's skating is "nothing without tension."
