Amazon Unveils Animated Warhammer 40K TV Show Plans

Amazon's MGM Studios is teaming up with Blur Studios and Games Workshop to bring the Warhammer 40,000 franchise to life in an animated TV show. The new project will be a spinoff of the Secret Level episode based on the game.

Dave Wilson, who directed the Warhammer 40K episode of the Prime Video anthology show, will serve as director and co-creator for the new animated show. Wilson isn't the only talent from Secret Level to join this adaptation; Creator Tim Miller will also be an executive producer for the upcoming animated project.

Famed Warhammer 40K fan Henry Cavill, who is already involved in live-action adaptations of the game, has been attached as an executive producer. The creative team behind the show has only just begun to work on a script several years after Amazon inked its deal for the rights to the property.

Games Workshop CEO Kevin Rountree confirmed Cavill's continued involvement, addressing fan concerns that a lack of updates might have signaled the actor's departure from the project.
