Peacock Greenlights Drama ‘Field of Dreams’

Peacock has announced a straight-to-series order for “Field of Dreams” from Universal Television based on the iconic 1989 sports fantasy film. The series will reimagine the mixture of family, baseball, Iowa and magic that was present in the movie and will be executive produced by Michael Schur (Fremulon), Lawrence Gordon (The Gordon Company), David Miner and Morgan Sackett. Schur will also write the series. 

“Through the years, ‘Field of Dreams’ has remained a fan favorite, maintaining its rightful position in the zeitgeist,” said Lisa Katz, President, NBCUniversal Television and Streaming. “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.”

“’Field of Dreams’ is an iconic Universal Film title from venerable producers Lawrence and Charles Gordon, that we could only have entrusted to Mike Schur,” said Erin Underhill, President, Universal Television.  “His talent, his love for baseball and his reverence for its themes make him the perfect choice to revisit this beloved film that evokes nostalgia and visceral emotion in so many of its fans.”

No casting has been announced for “Field of Dreams” at present, nor has the number of episodes been announced.
