The Last of Us series co-creator Craig Mazin is teaming with Hasbro Entertainment to create an HBO series based on the popular (and spicy) Baldur’s Gate 3 game, Deadline reported. The show will be simply be called Baldur’s Gate and the story will resume where Baldur’s Gate 3 left off. Mazin will reportedly have full creative control and act as co-creator, writer, executive producer and showrunner.
”It is a dream come true to be able to continue the story that [Baldur’s Gate 3developer] Larian and Wizards of The Coast created,” Mazin said in a statement. ”I am a devoted fan of DnD and the brilliant way that Swen Vincke and his gifted team adapted it. I can’t wait to help bring Baldur’s Gate and all of its incredible characters to life with as much respect and love as we can.”

Authorities opened investigations into former top Norwegian ministers — including World Economic Forum President Børge Brende — over links to deceased sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
Brende, who previously denied contact with Epstein, dined with the financier, newly released files show, while one of Norway’s ex-premiers faces a corruption inquiry.
The list of powerful people named in the files is growing: The emails show US Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick planned a visit to Epstein’s island in 2012, again contradicting his previous statements, while Britain’s prime minister is under pressure over his former Washington ambassador’s connections. The files reveal a “social Ponzi scheme” in which the financier leveraged relationships and information to build yet more relationships, the Financial Times said.

A federal jury in Phoenix ordered Uber on Thursday to pay $8.5m after finding the company liable in a lawsuit brought by a woman who said she was sexually assaulted by a driver. The verdict could influence thousands of similar cases against the ride-hailing company.
The case, brought by plaintiff Jaylynn Dean, was the first trial of more than 3,000 similar lawsuits against Uber that have been consolidated in US federal court. So-called bellwether trials are used to test legal theories and help gauge the value of claims for possible settlements. The jury found that the driver was an agent of Uber, holding the company responsible for his actions. They awarded Dean $8.5m in compensatory damages but declined to award punitive damages. Attorneys for Dean had sought more than $140m in damages.
