Netflix is currently working on a live-action series adaptation of PUBG in a serial format, with Donald Glover set to star in the lead role, according to Deadline.
In addition to acting, Glover will serve as the director, writer, and executive producer for the project. He will collaborate on the script with his brother, Stephen Glover, with whom he previously created the television series Atlanta.
Production on the series also involves Neon TV, Gilga, and Krafton LV3H, a division dedicated to expanding the PUBG franchise beyond video games. The project came together following extended negotiations, though specific details regarding the plot, additional cast members, and the release date remain unannounced.
The original battle royale title PUBG was released in 2017. Back in 2020, parent company Krafton announced intentions to broaden the franchise through various films and series.
Meanwhile, Netflix continues development on several other video game adaptations, including an Assassin’s Creed series, a Gears of War film, and animated projects based on Minecraft, Magic: The Gathering, and Clash of Clans.
