Games Workshop has spoken out about why Amazon's upcoming Warhammer series – a passion project of star and executive producer Henry Cavill – is taking so long to come to our screens.

Speaking as part of the company's financial results (H/T IGN), CEO Kevin Rountree addressed the War Elephant in the room.

Games Workshop only "agreed creative guidelines" on the project in December 2024. From there, Cavill – a self-confessed Warhammer fanatic – teased his work on the series, as well as a cryptic starting point for the TV show.
