Obsidian's backyard survival game Grounded is being made into a television series

Grounded (opens in new tab), the game that gave rise to the phrase “asshole ants (opens in new tab),” is headed to the small screen—and yes, that is a pun, thank you. According to a Deadline (opens in new tab) report, the game is being adapted into a television series by Star Wars: Clone Wars writer Brent Friedman. Brien Goodrich, who previously served as cinematics director on Halo 4 and 5, is signed to direct the show.

It’s not clear how closely the show will cleave to the game, but it will follow the same basic premise: Four friends end up accidentally shrunk to bug size and must learn how to survive in a backyard that’s suddenly crawling with massive, deadly predators. But the real problem, apparently, is a “vast corporate conspiracy” that’s threatening the entire town. (And that, I bet, has something to do with how the kids ended up tiny-sized in the first place.)
