Major League Baseball's recent "Field of Dreams" game between the New York Yankees and Chicago White Sox was the most-watched MLB game in over 15 years.

Parks and Recreation co-creator Mike Schur is looking to develop a television series based on the film which, according to The AV Club, will "reimagine the mixture of family, baseball, Iowa, and magic that makes the movie so enduring and beloved."
Erin Underhill, President of Universal Television, said, "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. 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."
