A free D&D TV channel is headed to smart TVs and other devices this summer. The free, ad-supported channel will focus on actual play and other unscripted series, including a cooking show.
Hasbro is launching a free, ad-supported streaming television channel full of new and classic Dungeons & Dragons programming through its subsidiary, eOne Entertainment. An announcement, made Thursday, details three all-new unscripted series that will premiere this summer. The as-yet unnamed channel will be supplemented by reruns of the classic D&D animated series from the 1980s. No distributors were mentioned, but it’s expected to be available on smart TVs and other streaming devices.
The big winners here appear to be fans of Encounter Party, a long-running D&D actual play podcast co-founded by Brian David Judkins and Ned Donovan, which will be headlining the new channel. The troupe’s first campaign took place in Ravnica, one of the many planes in Magic: The Gathering’s multiverse, and concluded two years ago.
