Amazon announced that a Mass Effect TV show is officially in development. While little is known about the nature of the project, Variety reported that the key figures involved in the production are Daniel Casey, Ari Arad, Karim Zreik, and EA’s Michael Gamble. [Thanks, Variety!]
Daniel Casey, who is the lead writer and an executive producer on the Mass Effect TV show, is best known for his work on F9: the Fast Saga and the sci-fi film Kin. Karim Zreik will also be executive producer on the show, which falls under his Cedar Tree Productions label. Zreik’s past work included executive producer credits on Marvel Studios projects like Daredevil and The Punisher. Ari Arad’s career involved multiple other video game adaptations, including 2017’s Ghost in the Shell, 2022’s Uncharted, and most recently the 2024 movie Borderlands.
This is not the only video game project Amazon Studios has been working on. A live action TV series adaptation of Yakuza or Like a Dragon is currently streaming on Prime. In addition, an anthology series called Secret Level, which will feature 15 shorts based on the worlds of various video games by the creative team behind Love, Death and Robots, will be airing on Prime starting on December 10, 2024.
No plot details are currently known about the TV show, and there is no hint as to whether it will be an adaptation of Commander Shepherd’s adventures or an all new story. There is no projected release date at this time.
The Mass Effect TV show is in development for Amazon Prime.
