Wolfenstein TV Series in Development at Amazon MGM Studios

Series Details at a Glance

Amazon MGM Studios is developing a live-action Wolfenstein TV series, led by showrunner and writer Patrick Somerville (known for Station Eleven and Maniac). The project reunites key players behind Amazon’s Fallout series, including Kilter Films, Jonathan Nolan, Lisa Joy, Athena Wickham, and representatives from Bethesda and MachineGames.

The tagline teased in the announcement — “The story of killing Nazis is evergreen” — suggests a tone faithful to the games. While plot and cast details haven’t been shared yet, it’s expected to feature iconic hero B.J. Blazkowicz and elements from The New Order and The New Colossus. Coverage from outlets like PCGames.de and GamesRadar supports this direction.

Why It Matters

After the massive success of Fallout, Amazon is doubling down on high-profile gaming adaptations. This series also adds to Amazon’s expanding slate, which includes projects based on God of War, Mass Effect, and Warhammer 40K. The involvement of Patrick Somerville, known for emotional and complex storytelling, gives the show a narrative advantage. According to Deadline, the team is aiming to blend brutal action with grounded resistance themes.

What Fans Can Expect

While details remain under wraps, fans anticipate alternate history, Nazi experimentation, and supernatural twists that are hallmarks of the franchise. Rumors suggest an episodic structure focusing on Blazkowicz’s resistance exploits. Given the talent involved and Amazon’s track record, expectations are high for a gritty, cinematic take on the long-running shooter series.
