Mass Effect to be adapted as a TV show by Amazon MGM

The action sci-fi world of Mass Effect is next on the docket to join the transmedia world of video game-to-television adaptations. According to a report from Variety, Amazon MGM is moving forward with a TV show based on the 2007 – 2021 game series.

The show will be penned by the writer of F9: The Fast Saga, Daniel Saga, which did not fare particularly well critically but made over $700 million at the box office. Mass Effect developer BioWare’s studio head Mike Gamble, who worked on two of the four mainline Mass Effect titles, will also be serving as an executive producer on the TV show alongside Hollywood’s ubiquitous executive producer Avi Arad.
