Amazon MGM Studios is developing a television adaptation of the Wolfenstein video game franchise. Patrick Somerville will serve as creator, writer, executive producer, and showrunner for the project. The producer previously worked on Amazon's successful Fallout series adaptation. Jerk Gustafsson from MachineGames joins as executive producer after contributing to all the studio's Wolfenstein titles. The production team describes the central theme as an evergreen story about defeating Nazis.
Variety reports that specific plot details remain undisclosed at this time. Somerville has maintained enthusiasm for the Wolfenstein games since his youth. The franchise encompasses fourteen different game releases across multiple decades. MachineGames created recent entries, but Somerville's childhood fandom predates their involvement. Industry observers anticipate that the show's potential success might encourage MachineGames to return to game development for the series.
