Netflix Announces Live-Action Ravenloft Series for Dungeons & Dragons

Netflix is set to bring the gothic world of Dungeons & Dragons’ Ravenloft to the screen, with a new series announced by Deadline. Executive producer Alfonso Cuarón and writer‑executive producer John August are leading the project in partnership with Hasbro Entertainment. The show will focus on the infamous vampire Darklord Strahd von Zarovich, tracing his descent from a tragic anti‑hero to the iconic undead ruler of Barovia.

The series comes on the heels of the recent release of *Ravenloft: The Horrors Within*, which refreshed the setting for a broader audience. By centering on Strahd’s rise—his power, love, obsession, and eventual transformation into an undead menace—Netflix aims to explore the lore that has made Ravenloft a staple of the Dungeons & Dragons universe. The project is still in development, but the involvement of high‑profile talent and the recent update to the setting suggest a strong foundation for a faithful adaptation.
