Hollywood has been on the lookout for interesting anime franchises to convert them into live action series. After Cowboy Bebop and One Piece, the latest anime to fall prey to this trend was the hit sci-fi time travel series, Steins;Gate. 

The reveal came during the live concert, Science ADV Live S;G, that was celebrating the 10th anniversary of the series. A teaser video was played at the concert which revealed that a live action series was in the works already.

The news was greeted with a mixture of joy and grief by the Steins;Gate fans. For once they were happy that their favorite sci-fi show was being recognized and in the limelight, however, the disastrous live action adaptations of anime in the past(think Death Note), made them worry that Steins;Gate is in line to face a similar fate.

That said, let us look at whatever information we have about the Steins;Gate live action series currently.

Which Production Company is handling the live action series?

According to reports, Steins;Gate live action series is being made under the supervision of Skydance Television. Founded in 200, the production company has a strong resume, with titles like Altered Carbon, Jack Ryan, World War:Z, Mission Impossible: Fallout etc.
