Dungeons & Dragons’ next live-action project has gotten a positive update, and it’s a more exciting development than Honor Among Thieves 2.
Dungeons & Dragons saw critical success with its 2023 film, but its next live-action release is even more exciting than Honor Among Thieves 2. Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves offered an entertaining spin on the beloved role-playing game, and it received positive reviews from general audiences and critics alike. Although the film underperformed at the box office — per The Numbers, it grossed just over $207 million on a $150 million budget — it had an overwhelmingly warm reception. And it seems Dungeons & Dragons isn’t done with its time on-screen.

Paramount’s Dungeons & Dragons TV show has gotten a positive update for the first time since Honor Among Thieves had its disappointing theatrical run. It sounds as though the franchise still has a bright future on-screen, with the television series remaining in development. That means Honor Among Thieves 2 could still happen as well. However, a live-action TV show is way more exciting than another movie for a few key reasons.
Dungeons & Dragons Works Better As A TV Show Than As A Movie
The Paramount+ Series Will Be Able To Delve Deeper Into D&D Lore
Although Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves fans may have been waiting for a sequel update, the Paramount+ show is even more exciting than another movie. In general, the RPG is more suited to a TV format than a feature film. That’s because Dungeons & Dragons has a huge amount of lore, which is easier to cover in multiple seasons of a TV series than in a single theatrical release. A TV show will allow the story to naturally flow through the different races and monsters present in Dungeons & Dragons, giving fans of the game a more satisfying adaptation.
Dungeons & Dragons is also an immersive, character-driven game, which a TV show will convey better than a film. A TV series will have more time to focus on a large cast of characters, making it easier for viewers to step into their shoes. This is crucial for any Dungeons & Dragons adaptation that hopes to capture the magic of the game. And that’s precisely why the franchise’s next live-action release is so exciting.
