Alfonso Cuarón is taking on the origins of one of Dungeons & Dragons’ most infamous villains. The Mexican filmmaker will produce Ravenloft, a live-action Netflix series based on the popular fantasy role-playing game.

Cuarón will work on the project with screenwriter John August, with Hasbro Entertainment also involved in production. The series will be set in the universe of Dungeons & Dragons, the tabletop game created in 1974.

Ravenloft will tell the story of Lord Strahd von Zarovich, a vampire whose path to power, love, obsession and transformation into an undead being begins with his life as a tragic antihero. The character ultimately becomes one of the best-known villains in the Dungeons & Dragons universe.

The project is not connected to The Forgotten Realms, another series from the same universe that Netflix announced in 2025 but later discarded, according to Deadline. August will write the script. He has previously worked with Tim Burton on films including Big Fish.
