Amazon Studios is nearing a deal to develop a series based on Mass Effect

Following the success of its Wheel of Time adaptation, Amazon Prime Video is considering a series based on the Mass Effect universe. Mass Effect began as an alternate universe science fiction series created by BioWare.

The original trilogy of games follows the story of Commander Shepard, a human military officer in a galaxy full of aliens and alien threats. Beyond the original trilogy the series also featured several mobile games, and a spin-off title in Mass Effect: Andromeda. It also has several tie-in novels, art books, and comic books. It also is no stranger to film and television, thanks to the 2012 animated film Mass Effect: Paragon Lost.
