Peacock Orders 'Field Of Dreams' TV Series Based On The Movie
If you build it, he will come…
Peacock is banking on that infamous line from Field of Dreams and has ordered a limited series based on the 1989 film which starred Kevin Costner.
Deadline reports that the streaming service will be working with Michael Schur, the film’s producer Lawrence Gordon and Universal TV, for the series.
The Field of Dreams series will reimagine the mixture of family, baseball, Iowa and magic that makes the movie so enduring and beloved.
The announcement comes just days after MLB’s Field of Dreams game last week between the New York Yankees and Chicago White Sox.
The game quickly became the most-watched regular-season Major League Baseball telecast on any network since 2005, according to Nielsen, and Fox’s most-streamed regular-season game in its history.

“Through the years, Field of Dreams has remained a fan favorite, maintaining its rightful position in the zeitgeist,” Lisa Katz, President, NBCUniversal Television and Streaming, said in a statement. “It’s whimsical and grounded, a space where Mike Schur excels, and we’re looking forward to bringing a new version of this classic to Peacock.”
