CBS All Access is picking up documentary “Console Wars,” based on the book by Blake J. Harris, the streaming service revealed during the Television Critics Association press tour Thursday. The CBS Interactive SVOD is also planning a scripted series based on the source material, which retells the Nintendo vs. Sega race in the 1990s.
The film is in partnership with Legendary Television Studios and is produced by Doug Blush. It is directed by Harris and Jonah Tulis and is being executive produced by Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg’s Point Grey Pictures and Scott Rudin Productions.
CBS All Access and Point Grey are developing the scripted series together.
