‘Field Of Dreams’ TV Series Coming From Mike Schur

TV

Deadline:

Peacock has given a straight-to-series order to Field of Dreams, based on Universal’s Oscar-nominated film, from The Good Place creator Michael Schur, the film’s producer Lawrence Gordon and Universal TV.

Written by Schur, the series will reimagine the mixture of family, baseball, Iowa and magic that makes the movie so enduring and beloved.

The pickup comes amid a surge in popularity for the 1989 film starring Kevin Costner following baseball’s “Field of Dreams” game last week between the New York Yankees and Chicago White Sox, which aired in primetime on Fox. It was the most-watched regular-season Major League Baseball telecast on any network since 2005, according to Nielsen, and Fox’s most-streamed regular-season game in its history.
