Steins;Gate (Live-Action TV Series)

The Steins;Gate live-action TV series is a forthcoming adaptation of the visual novel Steins;Gate, originally developed by 5pb. and Nitroplus. It will be produced by Skydance Television, a Hollywood studio that has produced the TV shows Manhattan, Grace and Frankie, Ten Days in the Valley, Altered Carbon, Dietland, Condor, and Jack Ryan in the past.

The Steins;Gate live-action TV series adaptation was initially announced on January 26, 2020, by Chiyomaru Shikura on his Twitter account at https://twitter.com/chiyomaru5pb/status/1221427165553577986, as well as by the Science Adventure Series on its official twitter account at https://twitter.com/kagakuadv/status/1221414410029170689, on the same day Steins;Gate 0 Elite was announced.

CBR.com has written an article speculating that this live-action adaptation is actually likely to turn out to be good, given the previous work Skydance Television has done on Sci-Fi shows like Altered Carbon, and the fact that Skydance Television has promised to use Asian actors and be faithful to the source material for an earlier live-action adaptation they announced, their Sword Art Online live-action TV series.

Given that their Sword Art Online live-action TV series adaptation was announced back on August 2, 2016 and still has no estimated release date as of 4 years later in 2020, and that this project was only announced on January 26, 2020, it is probably safe to say that this forthcoming Steins;Gate live-action TV series will not be released for several years. The official website for this upcoming series is at http://steinsgate.jp/10th/project10/ and in Japanese.
