"People will come, Ray," promises the fictional author Terence Mann, portrayed by James Earl Jones in Field of Dreams. "This field, this game. It's a part of our past ... It reminds us of all that once was good and could be again. Oh, people will come, Ray. People will most definitely come." NBC's streaming service, meanwhile, has a similar ambition for a new Peacock series that was announced on Monday, August 16. It's being helmed by writer and executive producer Michael Schur, and it will be a Field of Dreams adaptation. The hope is that there's still so much residual affection for the Field of Dreams story, which is being repurposed here as a TV series, that if Peacock streams it, "they will come."
"Through the years, Field of Dreams has remained a fan favorite, maintaining its rightful position in the zeitgeist,” Lisa Katz, President, NBCUniversal Television and Streaming, said in a press release about the news. “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.”
