Paramount TV and Anonymous Content have bought the rights to make a television series based on Electronic Arts‘ Battlefield video game series.
Michael Sugar, the producer of Academy Award Best Picture winner Spotlight, and Ashley Zalta from Anonymous Content will serve as executive producers. Battlefield is a natural for TV since it has amassed more than 60 million players worldwide since the first Battlefield game debut in 2002, and EA has plans to launch another installment, Battlefield 1 (set in World War I), this fall.
