Amazon Studios is once again reaching into its deep pockets to fund another genre show, this time an adaptation of the popular video game Mass Effect, after word that Wheel of Time is a hit out of the gate.
This news was tucked into an article about the success of the Robert Jordan series by Deadline. It makes sense, considering the huge Mass Effect fan base that is already in place, and the fact that The Expanse is about to premiere its sixth and final season: a Mass Effect series has all the potential to be Amazon's next sci-fi sensation.
The trade reports that the streamer is nearing a deal to develop a series, but it bolsters that with comments from Amazon Studios head Jen Salke.
There is no word on how forward we will be looking to see Mass Effect, but we do know that the first season of Lord of the Rings is slated to premiere. We can't wait to launch it to the world, it looks incredible and all systems are go on that show. We know our global audience is hungry for elevated fantasy and shows based on beloved intellectual property, and we see that with Wheel of Time and Lord of the Rings.
