Indie game developer ZA/UM will team with production company dj2 Entertainment to develop a TV series based on the hit 2019 video game “Disco Elysium” which received widespread critical acclaim.
Based on a universe introduced in Robert Kurvitz’s 2013 novel “Sacred and Terrible Air,” the game follows a veteran detective with a mysterious past who must solve a crime that threatens to set powerful political factions into civil war.
The game won four Game Awards including best narrative and best independent game, three BAFTA awards and was named one of the best games of the decade by Time Magazine.
No writer, network or streaming service is currently attached but meetings are currently underway with writers. dj2’s chief Dmitri M. Johnson co-produced the “Sonic the Hedgehog” film and is executive producing the upcoming TV series based on the Hong Kong-set game “Sleeping Dogs” with Donnie Yen attached to star.
