Hivemind, the production company behind Amazon's The Expanse, is teaming with Sony Pictures Television and video game publisher Square Enix on a live-action series based on Final Fantasy, one of the most storied video game franchises. The proposed TV series would draw heavily from Final Fantasy XIV, the franchise’s first massively multiplayer online game. “Final Fantasy XIV and Eorzea are the perfect gateway into Final Fantasy for longtime fans and newcomers alike,” Sony Pictures Television co-president Chris Parnell said in a statement. “This show is about embracing and embodying all of the elements that have made the mythos such an endlessly captivating phenomenon, and it’s an immense honor to be bringing all of Eorzea’s iconic characters, settings, and concepts – including fan-favorites like Cid and, of course, the chocobos – to life for a television audience.”
