Reply to comment by MeronDC in Which new television show are you looking forward to in 2023? by gillyweed918

Filming finished in September, so they're in post production right now.

Here's an article talking about their lack of marketing. But it doesn't talk about the D&D shaped elephant in the room.

$200 Million confirmed for a multi-project Netflix deal with D&D.

$1 Billion rumoured offer from Amazon for the rights to the series.

Nothing concrete, but if Netflix spent Rings of Power money on securing the rights then you'd expect the budget would be in the hundreds of millions.

Maybe someone who knows the books better can tell you how expensive they think it would be to make.

E.g. Is it near future, or full on Bladerunner? A little VFX, or half the movie?

1st book can be done pretty cheap outside of the VR game. It is the Dark Forest and 3rd book where things get crazy (centuries into the future, space battles, etc.)
