If you're a fan of the long-running Battlefield game franchise, it sounds like you'll soon get a chance to see the franchise stretch its legs to television. As reported by The Hollywood Reporter, Paramount and Anonymous Content have optioned the rights for a small screen take on the EA franchise.
From The Hollywood Reporter:
"Paramount TV actively seeks smart content from all sectors that will resonate with audiences and translate to compelling programming," Paramount TV president Amy Powell said. "EA's Battlefield has an incredibly dynamic narrative, coupled with a loyal fan base, which will allow us to bring this exciting and unique property to the small screen. We look forward to working with EA and Anonymous Content and thank Michael Sugar for his tenacity in bringing us this exciting project."
This is EA's second franchise to be licensed for television in recent months, following a Mirror's Edge series that is also in the works. There's no timeline on when we could expect the Battlefield TV series to hit screens, but it will definitely be interesting to watch as things develop.
