In 2017, IO Interactive, the developer of the Hitman series, decided to cooperate with Hulu (the third-largest streaming site in the United States) to produce a Hitman live-action TV series. According to screenwriter Derek Kolstad, the game adaptation series is similar to the movie Spy Shots. Heavy is very similar, but very little news about the show after that. Recently, Bateson, the voice actor of Hitman 47, said: The reality TV series of The Hitman has become cold.
The news comes from an interview with Bateson from foreign media ComicBook, in which Bateson said he has been paying attention to IMDb and pre-production content, but it seems to be over. He believes that the epidemic may be one of the main reasons, and because of other works, the live-action TV series of Killer has been shelved.
Bateson has been the voice actor for Hitman 47 since IO Interactive founded Hitman in 2000, so his sources are more reliable. Considering that the live-action movies and TV series based on games have not been very good in recent years, perhaps the project of “The Killer” live-action drama has not been valued.
