Overview
- Variety reported that Prime Video is developing an animated Warhammer 40,000 spinoff that grows out of the Secret Level anthology and is currently in early development.
- Henry Cavill is attached as an executive producer on the animated project while Dave Wilson will co-create and direct the series with development support from writer John Orloff.
- The series will focus on The Deathwatch, an elite group of Space Marines who hunt alien threats, though writers and producers say detailed plot information has been kept under wraps.
- Production partners on the project include Amazon MGM Studios, Blur Studios and Games Workshop, with Secret Level creator Tim Miller and other producers also named on the series.
- The announcement extends Prime Video’s multi-format approach to the Warhammer IP and signals plans for longer-form storytelling on screen that could complement the separate live-action Warhammer series.
