A “Mass Effect” TV series is officially in development at Amazon MGM Studios, Variety has learned exclusively.

Daniel Casey is set to write and executive produce the adaptation. Karim Zreik will executive produce under his Cedar Tree Productions banner, with Ari Arad and EA’s Michael Gamble also executive producing. Cedar Tree is currently under an overall deal at Amazon MGM Studios.

Exact plot details are being kept under wraps.

It was previously reported in 2021 that Amazon was in negotiations to develop a “Mass Effect” TV series, but there have been no updates on the project until now. There had also been various attempts to develop a feature film based on the games but the project never materialized.

A big-screen adaptation was once set at Legendary Pictures, but that project never came to fruition. Now, after some rumors and dubious reports back in 2021, Amazon and EA are moving full steam ahead on the Mass Effect TV show,
