Krafton announced on October 30th that PUBG will be adapted into a live-action series for Netflix. Donald Glover is set to direct, write, executive produce, and star in the adaptation, joined by his brother Stephen Glover—a writing partner on the acclaimed series Atlanta—as a writer and executive producer.
The production team includes executive producers Michael Schaefer from Neon TV, Fam Udeorji from Gilga, and Taeseok Jang and Sujin Lee from LV3H, Krafton’s entertainment subsidiary responsible for developing and producing the series.
Donald Glover is a two-time Emmy and Golden Globe winner known for his extensive work in television, film, and music. His involvement signals Netflix’s significant commitment to adapting one of gaming’s most popular battle royale titles for mainstream television audiences.
