Report: Amazon nearing deal to create Mass Effect TV series
The Mass Effect franchise might expand into TV in the future, as Amazon Studios is reportedly in talks to develop a series based on popular games. However, there are not many details available about the project.
Deadline first reported the news, saying that Amazon Studios wants to develop more fantasy and sci-fi series in the wake of The Wheel of Time‘s strong debut and upcoming The Lord of the Rings show.
“You will see us continuing to invest in fantasy genre of all kinds, we have a genre-focused team on the ground in Studios who work tirelessly with our creative partners on those slates, and you can look forward to more,” Amazon Studios head Jennifer Salke said.
While the company is now nearing a deal, it is unknown when production of the possible series might start or whether it will be based on the story of the original Mass Effect games.
Henry Cavill previously hinted at a secret project based on the famous RPG franchise. In February, he showed a text with a Mass Effect 3 plot’s synopsis. “Secret project? Or just a handful of paper with random words on it…” he wrote on Instagram.
BioWare is now working on the next Mass Effect game. A few weeks ago, the studio shared a new poster for its annual N7 Day, hinting at the return of the geth.
