Joe Manganiello says he’s developing a DUNGEONS & DRAGONS TV show

As you probably know, Joe Manganiello is a big fan of Dungeons & Dragons, and has been playing for years. He is very fond of role-playing games and in a recent video shared by the Black Forest Wood Company showing an epic 12-foot long gaming table being installed in Manganiello’s new home, the actor opened up about his involvement with Wizards of the Coast and Dungeons & Dragons.

In the video, Manganiello shared that he’s developing a Dungeons & Dragons TV show for them! He said, “I work for Dungeons & Dragons. So, I’m actually making a documentary right now and developing a TV show for them.”

Manganiello also opened up about his weekly celebrity-laden D&D game in the video, which features the likes of Tom Morello, Vince Vaughn, and Paul Wight. Manganiello also shared that several other celebrities have expressed interest in wanting to play D&D with him.

There are no details on the TV project, but the actor is a fan of the Dragonlance novel series, which he calls “Star Wars of D&D,” so maybe he’s looking to adapt it into a series, which would be great! But that’s just me speculating.

As for the documentary mentioned by Manganiello, it was announced a few months ago. The paper will explore the popular tabletop RPG and is announced as the final release.

The document will draw on “over 400 hours of archived, never-before-seen footage dating back to the game’s creation in the early 1970s, to which the Manganiellos, Newmans and Adam F. Goldberg they have spent the last few years acquiring exclusive rights. The film, which also features exclusive interviews with celebrity fans of the game, will benefit from Wizards of the Coast offering filmmakers inside access to highly confidential developments regarding the game and brand, this being the first time this level of access has been authorized.”
