Netflix Officially Confirms PUBG TV Adaptation in the Works

Netflix has a long history of video game adaptations with series like Arcane , Castlevania , Resident Evil , and the upcoming Assassin's Creed live-action show , but the streaming service's latest project is a big surprise. Krafton and Netflix announced Thursday that PUBG , the enduring game that popularized the battle royale genre, is in development as a live-action television series for Netflix. Equally surprising is who is leading that adaptation: Donald Glover ( Atlanta , Community ) will direct, write, executive produce, and star in the PUBG series.
