The Elder Scrolls might be the next big gaming franchise to be adapted into a TV series.

According to industry insider Daniel Ritchtman (£) (thanks, Game Rant), Netflix is looking to adapt the fan-favourite franchise in a bid to capitalise on the success of shows like The Witcher and Castlevania.

“Is it possible to recoup a $7.5 billion investment if you don’t sell Elder Scrolls 6 on the PlayStation?” Spencer was asked, who quickly replies with, "yes." Spencer elaborates after a pause, making sure to point out that the ZeniMax acquisition "was not done to take games away from another player base like that".
