The Cyberpunk 2077 Universe Is Officially Getting The Live-Action Treatment

CD Projekt Red is the same company behind «The Witcher» video game series, which is currently enjoying life as a bona fide franchise on Netflix. While the loss of Henry Cavill and middling response to recent seasons have soured some fans on the series, spin-offs such as 2022’s «The Witcher: Blood Origin» prove that there’s an appetite for adventures set in The Continent. Will the upcoming «Cyberpunk 2077» live-action project reach similar heights? Who knows? 

The involvement of Anonymous Content certainly won’t hurt its chances. The company has experienced success with series such as «Mr. Robot» and «True Detective,» while movies like «Spotlight» and «The Revenant» have won Academy Awards. What’s more, the development of «Cyberpunk 2077» will be overseen by David Levine, who was previously a top executive at HBO and contributed to producing shows like «Westworld,» «True Blood,» and «Game of Thrones.» He joined Anonymous Content in 2019.

The talent involved gives the upcoming «Cyberpunk 2077» live-action project a great chance, and «Cyberpunk: Edgerunners» is existing proof that this universe lends itself to all types of storytelling. Of course, it remains to be seen if Keanu Reeves will reprise the role of his game character, Johnny Silverhand.
