TV and movie adaptations of video games are so hot at the moment that Bloober Team has even managed to convince someone to turn The Medium into a television series. Production will be led by Tomasz Bagiński, the executive producer of Netflix's adaptation of The Witcher, and Piotr Babieno, with Platige Image helping the developer make the project a reality. The TV show will chronicle the same events as the game.
On Bloober Team's official website, Bagiński explained: "Connecting the world of movies and games is a huge, but also fascinating challenge. I am glad that I have the pleasure of working on a project like The Medium with such a fantastically talented team." Platige Image adds it's looking to attract viewers from all over the world, suggesting the TV series won't be limited to Polish-speaking territories.
The developer's president sees the success of other TV shows like Cyberpunk: Edgerunners, and so wants to get in on the act with another quality product. "The whole team working on the concept of the series felt they were working on something special, we hope that this enthusiasm will be visible in the quality of the series," said Piotr Babieno.

The movie and TV industry haven't had an original thought in years. Thus, they turned to the gaming industry as it still has some creativity left.
Hopefully it makes a less boring film/tv show
Would be nice if they told us where you could watch this.
Who asked for this? Honestly?
CP Edgerunners anime got Neon Genesis and Akira vibes. Its that good. Never played Medium even though i'm a horror fan, is the story any good?
How the hell asked for this??? This is getting ridiculous this game was terrible are we making adaptations of anything at this point?
@dimi The story is one of the worst I've ever experienced. The sheer f@cking gall of Bloober team to say that trauma victims should be put down like dogs is disgusting.
A mediocre game with not much reach getting a TV show adaption?
Yeah, that's definitely gonna be very successful.
That’s why it’s called The Medium, because it’s aiming to cover all of them!
@uncharted2007 does it tho? so many remakes
This videogame adaption craze is like a huge bubble of walrus semen that's gonna burst soon and rain down on every streaming service CEO's breakfast cereal and it's going to be glorious to behold.
Now this is kind of cool. It really scratched my Silent Hill 2 itch.... but ultimately, I ended up throwing down the (very large wad of) cash and just bought Silent Hill 2... Nothing beats the OG!
I do wonder if they'd get Akira Yamaoka to do the music? Or just use what's in the game? That would be cool...
Can't be any more mediocre than the game at least.
Not to be confused with Medium the tv show of course
@Bentleyma BOOOOOOOO!!! (throws popcorn) BOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! 😂
This actually could be a fun show concept. With a decent budget and a solid VFX team, I could totally see this working.
Usually try to stay open minded about these adaptations, but this seems rather random given it's a fairly unknown game. Nevertheless, I see no good in bashing it prematurely.
@PegasusActual93 I would imagine it's too early in development?
Either that or they're still trying to shop around the show to different networks or streaming services.
