'Myst' TV Show In Development - Cyan Worlds & Legendary Creating New Series Based On Iconic Computer Game

Myst, one of the most iconic computer games of all time, is set to hit the small screen in the near future thanks to a partnership between developers Cyan Worlds and production studio Legendary. This eerie computer game has spawn numerous gaming sequels and a series of novels, but now we'll be able to continue the journey with a new TV show.

Fans of the computer game will remember fondly (and possibly anxiously) just how engrossing the play was, so clearly adapting it into a TV series will at least be fun to think about! According to Deadline, the company's partnership with the film and TV studio means "finally being able to express in a visual linear medium the rich story that the Myst franchise is dripping with."

"Cyan's goal in working with Legendary is not just to create a compelling TV drama but to develop a true transmedia product that will include a companion video game that extends the story across both media," Cyan Worlds said in a statement. "Seventy percent of tablet owners use their device while watching TV at least several times a week. Cyan sees the potential to push the boundaries of interactive storytelling to a new level."

How do you think tablets will play into this new series?

For more updates, you should follow the Cyan Worlds Twitter account, which has already posted some fun teasers following the news.
