Production
In response to the immense popularity of Time Warner's Game of Thrones on HBO, Fox Disney wanted to compete with their rival by creating their own fantasy epic. Many discussions were held amongst 20th Century Fox over which franchise they owned that could compete with Game of Thrones, but the film studio and all of Fox Disney's respective networks struggled to find anything that fit. At the same time, Fox was in the middle of talks with their game developing subsidiaries to try and develop movies and TV shows based on popular video game IPs. Eventually, the two projects merged when Fox realized Bethesda Softwork's Elder Scrolls franchise with over twenty years of source material and a devoted fanbase could very well be their secret weapon to compete with Time Warner.

For the next couple of years, Fox Disney along with Bethesda Executive Producer Todd Howard explored ways that FX could possibly make an Elder Scrolls related television series. Everything changed after seeing the success of Marvel's ambitious plan on Netflix, where they created multiple different superhero shows on the streaming service, each with their own cast and plotline, yet all taking place within a shared universe. This inspired Fox and Howard to move the Elder Scrolls onto Netflix and pitch four different shows that be adapted from the massive world of Bethesda's latest installment Elder Scrolls installment, Skyrim. Which in turn would be connected to any Elder Scrolls related movies in a shared universe. At Comic Con 2016, the fours shows were officially announced with the first of them being simply called The Elder Scrolls: Dragonborn.

Dragonborn, as the title seemed to imply, was stated at Comic Con and afterwards to be an adaption of the Last Dragonborn's adventures as played within the events of Skyrim. When asked if such a decision would change the game's continuity Todd Howard confirmed that Dragonborn as well as all the respective shows and movies would take place in a "similar, yet different" canon than the games. Filming for The Elder Scrolls V: Dragonborn began throughout 2017 to early 2018 and was released on Netflix November 23rd 2018.
