Mass Effect TV Series, First Revealed In 2021, Is Apparently Back On With A Key Update

As a long-time Mass Effect fan who has spent countless hours exploring the galaxy and making tough decisions as Commander Shepard, I can’t help but feel a mix of excitement and cautious optimism about the news of the Mass Effect TV series. The road from development to release can be long and bumpy, as we’ve seen with this project already being in the works for several years. But if anyone can do justice to the rich universe and complex characters that BioWare has created, it’s Daniel Casey and EA’s Michael Gamble.


It appears the long-awaited return of BioWare’s Mass Effect TV series has been confirmed! According to recent reports from Variety, Amazon MGM Studios is currently developing a Mass Effect show, marking an official advancement in its production process following years of silence on the subject.

A project labeled as “in progress” implies that it is currently being worked on, but this doesn’t guarantee its release. The journey from development to completion can be lengthy and unpredictable. For instance, the Mass Effect series was initially announced in 2021, so it has been under development for quite some time now.

According to the latest update, it has been mentioned that Daniel Casey (from Fast & Furious 9) is in charge of both writing and serving as an executive producer for the upcoming series. Additionally, Michael Gamble from Electronic Arts is also on board as an executive producer.

Currently, specifics about the plot for the upcoming Mass Effect TV show are still unknown. However, the primary series revolves around the interstellar adventures led by Commander Shepard. At some stage, a film adaptation of Mass Effect was proposed, though it ultimately failed to materialize.

Previously employed at BioWare, Mac Walters (who has since moved on) stated in 2021 that a Mass Effect television series would be more suitable than a movie. He reasoned that for a story as detailed as Mass Effect, TV is the ideal format due to its compatibility with episodic content, making it more natural and coherent.

If reports are true that Amazon MGM Studios is developing a Mass Effect TV series, it might be accessible on Prime Video, much like their Fallout series. Nevertheless, this has not been confirmed yet. Meanwhile, Prime Video is initiating a God of War TV show from scratch. In addition, Season 2 of Fallout is being planned.

On November 7th, we celebrate N7 Day as per Mass Effect folklore. Typically, teasers for the upcoming Mass Effect title have been unveiled on this day by BioWare and EA. However, that’s not the case this year. Instead, the development of the new Mass Effect game is progressing actively, taking center stage at BioWare following the release of Dragon Age: The Veilguard in October.
