A new TV series based on the “Wolfenstein” video game franchise is officially in development!

As Variety reports, Amazon MGM Studios is developing the adaptation, featuring the captivating tagline, “the story of killing N***s is evergreen.” Additional plot details have not been revealed yet.

Patrick Somerville will take on the roles of creator, writer, executive producer, and showrunner for the series. His past works include the Netflix miniseries “Maniac” and the HBO Max miniseries “Station Eleven,” and he has been a fan of the franchise since childhood. Jerk Gustafsson, a key figure from MachineGames, the studio behind the franchise, will also take on the role of executive producer.

The “Wolfenstein” games center around William “B.J.” Blazkowicz, an American Army Captain during World War II, as he battles against the N***s. As he infiltrates enemy territory, he uncovers that the Axis Powers are employing sinister experiments and even dabbling in the occult to shift the balance of the ongoing war. The original game, “Castle Wolfenstein,” debuted in 1981 and has since inspired numerous sequels throughout the years.

This announcement follows the successful launch of Amazon's TV adaptation of “Fallout,” which received praise from both fans and critics alike. A second season is in the works, and the show has already been greenlit for a third!
