CD Projekt Red, the renowned game developer behind the highly acclaimed The Witcher games, is teaming up with Anonymous Content to create an exciting live-action TV series based on their hit game, Cyberpunk 2077. The collaboration is still in the early stages of development and is currently in search of a talented screenwriter to bring the project to life.
According to reports, the TV series will feature an original story set within the captivating world of the Cyberpunk 2077 game franchise. The developers are working closely with the creative team from the game to ensure that the TV series stays true to the essence and allure of the original game. Joining forces with CD Projekt Red is Garret Kemble and key executives from Anonymous Content Studios, including the highly regarded CCO David Levine, who previously oversaw the production of shows like True Detective and Westworld during his time at HBO.
For those unfamiliar with the game, Cyberpunk 2077 is set in Night City, a sprawling metropolis fueled by power, glamour, and body modifications. Players assume the role of V, a mercenary outlaw on a quest to find a one-of-a-kind implant that holds the secret to immortality. The game, despite its turbulent start plagued by bugs, has been rectified and now enjoys recognition for its groundbreaking graphics. It has sold over 25 million copies worldwide.
Interestingly, both Keanu Reeves and Idris Elba, prominent actors known for their impressive performances, portray characters in the game that closely resemble their real-life appearances. This naturally sparks the question of whether they will reprise their roles as Johnny Silverhand and Solomon Reed in the TV series.
This isn’t the first time CD Projekt Red has ventured into television adaptations of their game world. They previously released an original anime adaptation titled Cyberpunk: Edgerunners in 2020, which served as a prequel to the game.
With this collaboration between CD Projekt Red and Anonymous Content, fans of Cyberpunk 2077 can look forward to a thrilling TV series that delves deeper into the immersive world of the game. The combination of CD Projekt Red’s creativity and Anonymous Content’s expertise is sure to deliver a captivating and visually stunning production that stays true to the spirit of the game. Stay tuned for further updates as development progresses on this highly anticipated project.
