Ravenloft on Netflix

Gizmodo is reporting Alphonso Cuaron is making a live action ravenloft series for Netflix. Seems like at this point it’s too early to start popping the popcorn, but could be cool if/when it releases.

The same story says the live action FR series Netflix had been working on is no longer in development.

I will believe it when I see it out. Things keep getting cancelled so I ain't going to get invested. 
i was kinda looking forward to the Faerun one.

I also am be dry much in a “mhm. I’ll hold my excitement until there is a release date.”  We’ve been promised various D&D and Magic television products for years, sometimes with fairly lofty and impressive creative teams attached… and neither has come to fruition yet.  I fully expect this to remain in development Nine Hells with the rest of Wizards’ IP… and would absolutely love if Netflix defies my expectations.

I'm concerned they're going to depict his pursuit of Tatyana as some tragic true love, a la Coppola's Bram Stoker's Dracula.

Describing Strahd as a "tragic antihero" and lines like "adventure collides with gothic horror and tragic romance" make me wince.

Strahd's story isn't a "tragic romance," it's the story of a man filled with regret for his own lost youth. Who turns that into an obsession first with his younger brother, then his younger brother's fiance.

Tatyana could have been anyone, ultimately. He doesn't love anything about her in particular, he's obsessed with what she represents to him.

It's just an announcement press release, so I don't want to assume too much based on the phrasing of a few sentences. But if they portray Strahd's feelings for Tatyana as "true love" (or mutual at all,) I'm assuming they hired a ghostwriter with the surname Von Holtz.

Don't assume this will be a Strahd story, all we've heard is it's a Ravenloft series. Who knows, maybe it'll be a horror anthology with each episode set in a different domain of dread.

And even if Season 1 gets made, who's not to say S2 takes 3 years for it to get produced, isn't as popular as S1 due to the time wait, and leaves S3 cancelled after a major cliffhanger. :P

But if it does get made should be interesting. I did enjoy the D&D movie.
