Horizon Zero Dawn TV Series Gets The Umbrella Academy Showrunner

Steve Blackman, who is the current showrunner of Netflix’s The Umbrella Academy, will be the showrunner for the upcoming Horizon Zero Dawn TV series.

According to Netflix TUDUM, Steve Blackman will be writing the show alongside Michelle Lovretta, who created the Canadian cult hit Killjoys.

Blackman said:

Horizon Zero Dawn is an exceptionally well-crafted game with wonderful characters not often seen in the rank-and-file of the gaming world. Guerrilla Games has created an incredibly lush and vivid world of man and machine who find themselves on a collision course to oblivion. Their salvation comes in the form of a young female warrior named Aloy, who has no idea she’s the key to saving the world. Suffice it to say, yes, Aloy will be a main character in our story. My writing partner on this, Michelle Lovretta, and I are thrilled to be able to expand this remarkable IP into a series for all types of viewers.

There are also more PlayStation live-action adaptations on the way, including a The Last Of Us TV series by HBO and a Twisted Metal TV series.
