Paramount Television and Anonymous Content have acquired the rights to adapt Battlefield. The executive producers will be 2016 Academy Award winner Michael Sugar and Ashley Zalta from Anonymous Content.

The release date and setting of the series have not yet been announced. However, it would be logical to assume that it will be based on Battlefield 1 and released in the autumn simultaneously with the new game.

“Paramount TV is actively seeking compelling content that resonates with audiences everywhere to create engaging programming,” says Amy Powell, President of Paramount TV. “The Battlefield game series has an incredibly dynamic storyline and a huge number of loyal fans – this will allow us to create excellent and unique new content for the small screen. We are excited to work with EA and Anonymous Content, and grateful to Michael Sugar for convincing us to take on this exciting project.”

“Battlefield has an amazing community of passionate fans, which makes this franchise a very attractive intellectual property suitable for adaptation into a full-length format,” says Michael Sugar, partner at Anonymous Content. “Together with EA and Paramount TV, we will create a Battlefield TV series with action and plot development as engaging as those that have ensured the video game’s outstanding success for almost fifteen years.”
