RockStar will not be involved with the production of BBC’s “making of” show about the franchise.

[dropcap size=small]O[/dropcap]n Thursday, the London-based broadcaster announced that they will be making a TV drama based on the Grand Theft Auto games. Not much was said other than BBC two will carry the drama, and a release that was sent out yesterday saying “the drama based on Grand Theft Auto.”

UK-based games writer Guy Cocker, a former GameSpot editor, is working on the show. Cocker says on Twitter the 90-minute program will be a “making of” feature that focuses on the people responsible for creating the franchise.

The BBC GTA show is part of a bigger picture called “ Make it Digital.” An initiative to get younger generations to get creative with coding, programming and digital technology.
