That magical Field of Dreams is in the news yet again, but this isn’t a sports story.

Mike Schur, noted baseball fan and the creator of The Good Place, got a straight-to-series order for his first drama series for Peacock. Schur also co-created NBC’s Brooklyn Nine-Nine, which returned last week for its final season on NBC, and has been a producer on Parks and Recreation, The Office and Master of None, among many other comedy series.

Schur’s Field of Dreams series will reimagine the 1989 movie’s mix of magic, baseball, family and cornfields that made the feature so enduring and beloved. The movie, produced by Universal Pictures, is based on W.P. Kinsella’s 1982 novel about Shoeless Joe Jackson, a member of the infamous “Black Sox” team of the Chicago White Sox who threw the 1919 World Series in exchange for money from a gambling syndicate. The film was nominated for three Oscars, including best picture, adapted screenplay and score.

Field of Dreams the film streams on Peacock and stars Kevin Costner, Amy Madigan, James Earl Jones, Ray Liotta (as Shoeless Joe) and Burt Lancaster. There are no cast announcements for the new series yet.

“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,” Universal TV president Erin Underhill said in a statement. “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.”

In real sports news, last week the Major League Baseball league built a stadium at the filming site of the movie, where it hosted the first big-league game in Iowa. The Chicago White Sox beat the New York Yankees in a Hollywood ending; Tim Anderson won with a dramatic late-inning walkoff homer. The game ranked as MLB’s highest-rated in-season matchup in years and featured a special appearance by Costner to kick-start the event, will be staged again next year.

The Peacock pickup marks the second series green light for an adaptation of a Universal movie title to be developed by an A-list creator in the Universal stable. In June, Seth MacFarlane’s raunchy teddy bear comedy Ted was ordered straight to series.

“Through the years, Field of Dreams has remained a fan favorite, maintaining its rightful position in the zeitgeist,” said Lisa Katz, president of NBCUniversal Television and Streaming. “It’s whimsical and grounded, a space where Mike Schur excels, and we’re looking forward to bringing a new version of this classic to Peacock.”

Field of Dreams becomes Schur’s latest series in his Universal TV five-year, $125 million overall deal, which is putting his various series on several different streaming services. Peacock recently renewed Rutherford Falls and HBO Max hosts his Emmy-nominated comedy Hacks. Schur is also developing Primo, a comedy with Shea Serrano for Amazon’s IMDb TV platform.

No premiere date for the series has been announced.
