Guerrilla Games/Sony Interactive Entertainment

We might see another Sony game turned into a television series. The company is reportedly working with Netflix to develop a Horizon Zero Dawn series. The report came out the same day Sony Pictures presented its 2022 business segment briefing. However, this series wasn't mentioned in the presentation document.

This adaptation will join many of the series and movies Sony is currently developing, including a God of War series coming to Amazon Prime and the Gran Turismo series in development. There is also a Ghost Tsushima movie coming out, a Twisted Metal series, and The Last of Us series. That last series is expected to debut on HBO sometime in 2023. It stars Pedro Pascal (The Mandalorian) and Bella Ramsey (Game of Thrones) and is being created by Craig Mazin (Chernobyl).
