Paramount Pictures and Anonymous Content are teaming up to produce a live-action TV series based on Electronic Arts’ popular Battlefield series. Anonymous Content’s Michael Sugar and Ashley Zalta will be the show’s executive producers, with it being available to view across broadcast, premium cable, and streaming services. However, at this point, no network is attached to the project.

The report comes up dry with regards to actual details about the series itself. Battlefield games have taken place during different eras in history. The original titles were set during World War II while the latest games took place in modern times. The upcoming Battlefield 1 takes place during the first world war. The show’s producers could either make it a period piece or something more contemporary.

Battlefield is one of the biggest games out there so it makes sense that Hollywood would want to try to make it into a series or movie. The question is, how will this series stand out and be different from other shows based around war?

Despite what the report says, the Battlefield series is not known for having a strong narrative or memorable characters. That means a brand-new storyline and cast of characters will have to be created specifically for this series. If that is the case, what will make it a distinctly “Battlefield” experience?

This project has just been announced so it will be some time before it officially goes into production. As always, stay tuned for more on the Battlefield TV series as news is released.
