Amazon Announces Production of Wolfenstein TV Series

Amazon has officially announced the production of a new TV series adaptation based on the popular Wolfenstein video game franchise. The series will be developed by Patrick Somerville, who is known for his work on acclaimed shows like The Leftovers and Station Eleven. Somerville, a longtime fan of the Wolfenstein series, will act as both writer and executive producer, bringing a personal touch to the project.

Joining him are notable producers including Jerk Gustafsson from Machinegames, the studio currently developing the video games, as well as Jonah Nolan, Lisa Joy, Athena Wickham, and James Altman. While there is great anticipation surrounding the series, specific details about the storyline, setting, and connection to the games have yet to be revealed.

The announcement marks a continuation of Amazon's focus on adapting popular video games into television series, following projects like Fallout, Mass Effect, God of War, and Warhammer 40,000. It is particularly interesting to note that a previous attempt to create a Wolfenstein film was announced back in 2012 but never materialized. With Gustafsson’s involvement, Swedish audiences are particularly keen to see how this series develops.
