Amazon has confirmed that a TV series based on theMass Effectgame franchise is in development.
Amazon PrimeVideo is on a role when it comes to video games adaptations. Not only has itbroken viewing records withFallout, gained a cult following forLike a Dragon, and hasTomb Raiderto come, it has now been confirmed that a TV series based on the hugely popular sci-fi RPG epic,Mass Effect, is in the works.
Amazon has reportedly hired the writer ofFast & Furious 9, Daniel Casey, to pen the show for itsstreaming service. AsVarietyreveals, he’ll also act as executive producer alongside Ari Arad and EA / Bioware stalwart, Michael Gamble – who is also overseeing the next RPG chapter.
Little else is known about the new show as yet, but Amazon is said to have been in negotiations to sign the license since 2021.
The universe, characters, races and worlds it established will make for fascinating viewing, whether Casey chooses to adapt the games' story and centre on Shepherd as the lead, or if he decides to go in another direction and tell a whole new tale.
I personally hope he chooses the latter – it has worked well forFalloutand is more interesting for fans of the games and newcomers alike.The Last of Usis superb, for sure, but knowing the outcome already dampens its appeal a touch.
Whatever happens, it could finally cement Amazon as the new king of sci-fi, as it seeks tosnatch the crown from Apple TV+.
