Actress Shadowheart supported the adaptation — and explained why she trusts the showrunner.



Jennifer English, who gave voice and form to Shadowheart in Baldur's Gate 3, became one of the first actresses from the original game to publicly speak about the future series. According to her, she looks at the project with optimism — primarily because of the showrunner: Craig Mazin has proven experience working with adaptations of complex, emotionally rich stories. The actress implied that his leadership is a serious argument in favor of the quality of the upcoming production.English specifically noted that Mazin is well acquainted with the source material and is a fan of Baldur's Gate 3. In her opinion, this is fundamentally important: a showrunner who understands the game from the inside is more likely to preserve its spirit, atmosphere, and what makes it special for fans. It is precisely this combination — professionalism and personal love for the material — that gives the actress a sense of confidence in the outcome.There is still very little concrete information about the project. Key questions remain open: whether the voice actors will return to their characters, which of the game's numerous storylines will form the basis of the script. Mazin also stated that he will start working on the series only after completing his current projects — which means we should not expect news anytime soon.
