Donald Glover will create and star in a live-action PUBG television adaptation for Netflix

Netflix is developing a live-action adaptation of the battle royale video game PUBG, with multihyphenate creator Donald Glover tapped to write, direct, executive produce, and star in the project. His brother and frequent collaborator Stephen Glover is also attached as a writer and executive producer. Netflix has not announced additional cast members or an expected release window. [1][2]

The original game features minimal narrative beyond 100 combatants fighting for survival, which leaves the creative team significant freedom to build an original story from scratch. The project joins an expanding slate of video game adaptations at Netflix, which is also working on a live-action series based on Assassin's Creed and a feature-length film adapted from Gears of War.
