'Field of Dreams' TV series to air on Peacock

A "Field of Dreams" television series is in the works to be aired on Peacock, NBC announced Monday.

The series will be executive produced and written by Michael Schur, whose credits include producing "The Office," "Parks and Recreation," "Brooklyn Nine-Nine," and "The Good Place." Schur is also a longtime baseball fan, co-creating the now discontinued blog "Fire Joe Morgan" under the pseudonym Ken Tremendous in 2005.

Lawrence Gordon, who produced the original 1989 film, will also executive produce the series, which will "reimagine the mixture of family, baseball, Iowa, and magic that makes the movie so enduring and beloved."

MLB hosted the inaugural Field of Dreams game between the Chicago White Sox and New York Yankees last Thursday, which became the most watched regular-season contest in 16 years.
