Peacock has abruptly dropped its planned series reboot of the 1989 classic Kevin Costner baseball movie “Field of Dreams”.
The project scored a straight-to-series order back in August last year and was said to be a month out from production with casting underway and multiple scripts done and ready to go.
The show was set as a reimagining of the movie, which saw an Iowa farmer build a baseball diamond in the middle of his cornfield after being prompted by a mysterious, otherworldly voice. The field eventually draws in ghosts of legendary baseball players.
“The Good Place” creator Michael Schur, producer Lawrence Gordon and Universal TV are behind the project and are now said to be shopping the series to other broadcasters and platforms.
