<p>Following in <a href="https://bagogames.com/netflix-making-live-action-legend-zelda-series/">the footsteps of The Legend of Zelda</a>, the BBC&#8217;s announced that as a part of its campaign to get British kids coding, it&#8217;ll be making &#8220;a new BBC Two drama based on Grand Theft Auto.&#8221; This is not, however, the GTA TV show you might&#8217;ve been hoping for.</p>
<p>Though details about the show are scarce in its original press release, the BBC is calling Grand Theft Auto &#8220;one of the most extraordinary creative and controversial success stories of our time.&#8221; British studio Rockstar has been historically reluctant to bring Grand Theft Auto to the big-screen and it looks like it won&#8217;t be carrying any new stories over to the small-screen anytime soon.</p>
<p>The news further comes from the BBC&#8217;s Guy Cocker, who will be playing some undisclosed part in the show&#8217;s development.</p>

As he explains on Twitter, this is a show about the making of Grand Theft Auto. The reveal comes on the heels of <em>Grand Theft Auto V</em>&#8216;s heists and not too long before <a href="https://bagogames.com/gta-v-heists-due-this-march-pc-port-delayed-again/">the game hits PCs later this spring</a>. Regardless, it&#8217;s something to watch</p>
