Announcing the series, the president of Universal TV, Erin Underhill, said, "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."
"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," he added while continuing to praise Schur.
According to Deadline, Schur will recreate the story by writing the required changes and executive producing it alongside Lawrence Gordon, David Miner, and Morgan Sackett.
The original narrative of the critically acclaimed film was loved by the audience for its mixture of family, baseball, Iowa, and magic.
The straight-to-series order came after a surge in popularity for the Kevin Costner starrer movie, following the completion of a baseball stadium at the iconic filming site of the movie. The stadium, built by the Major League Baseball, also saw an inauguration game last week between the New York Yankees and Chicago White Sox.
Aired in prime time on Fox, the game ranked as MLB’s highest-rated regular-season telecast on any network since 2005. It was also Fox’s most-streamed regular-season game in its history.
