Well, if you’re looking forward to all the video game adaptations coming to streaming platforms, this will surely be good news for you. Turns out that Steve Blackman still has a lot to bring to the Netflix family. Earlier today, after announcing the last season for The Umbrella Academy, he also confirmed that he is currently developing two sci-fi series: Horizon Zero Dawn, based on the PlayStation action-adventure game, and ISS drama Orbital.
According to Deadline, for the past few months, Netflix had been looking to put together a TV series based on Horizon Zero Down, which would join the list of anticipated video game adaptations we’re looking forward to watching in the future:
“Horizon Zero Dawn and Orbital are elevated, event-level projects grounded in characters that fans will love and relate to, which are hallmarks of Irish Cowboy productions,” said Blackman. “We’re thrilled to be working with Netflix and all of our partners on developing these ground-breaking stories.”
Here are details about the two series in active development at Blackman’s Irish Cowboy Productions (via Deadline):

Horizon Zero Dawn is an epic sci-fi adventure series set a thousand years in the future, in a strange and beautiful world full of primitive tribes and high-tech machines, all built on the bones of the ‘Old Ones’ – the ruins of our present-day United States. The disaster that destroyed our world is long forgotten. Still, when these formerly peaceful machines mysteriously turn into dangerous hunters of all life, a young outcast named Aloy discovers that the only chance to save her world is to fight to uncover what happened to ours. First released in 2017 Horizon Zero Dawn has sold over 20 million copies globally across PlayStation 4 and PC.
