Amazon's Mass Effect TV show is moving forward with Doug Jung as showrunner.
Per Deadline, Jung will develop the show alongside Dan Casey (F9), who has been writing the script for a year. The show was first announced back in 2021, and news has been sparse since then – leading some to think that the how wasn't moving forward after all. Jung Casey will executive produce alongside video game studio Electronic Arts and Karim Zreik, who is the former head of the now-defunct Marvel Television.
Mass Effect, a sci-fi roleplay third-person shooter game, was first released back in 2007 - effectively kicking off a massive franchise with 11 titles, several comic books, tie-in novels, and action figures. The player controls Commander Shepard, who must save the Milky Way galaxy from a species of ancient, hibernating machines known as Reapers. The player is also able to customize Shepard's gender, class, first name, and overall facial appearance – with Mark Meer providing the voice for male Commander Shepard and Jennifer Hale providing the voice for the female version.
