Paramount Television Snaps Up Battlefield TV Series Rights

 

It’s been revealed that Paramount Television has snapped up the rights for a live-action TV series based on the Battlefield franchise. Joining forces with Anonymous Content details of the adaptation remain few and far between.

No network is currently attached, for instance, but we do understand that Paramount’s deal spans spans broadcast, cable, premium cable, and streaming services, presenting a wide variety of options for the talent involved. Fresh off producing Spotlight, Michael Sugar is attached to executive produce the Battlefield TV series, and he offered up an official statement today in light of Paramount’s acquisition.

Sugar said “Battlefield has a tremendous built-in, engaged fan base, making it a highly coveted piece of IP primed for long-form adaptation. Together with EA and Paramount TV, we’ll develop the Battlefield TV series with the same commitment to robust storytelling that has made the game such a runaway success for nearly 15 years”.

Paramount TV president Amy Powell also had this to say “Paramount TV actively seeks smart content from all sectors that will resonate with audiences and translate to compelling programming. 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.”
