Amazon is developing a Warhammer 40,000 animated show
And of course, Henry Cavill is involved.
Warhammer 40,000 is set to receive an animated TV series, according to Variety. Amazon MGM Studios, Blur Studios, and Games Workshop are collaborating on this project. The show will be a spin-off of the Secret Level episode from Prime Video's anthology series. Dave Wilson, who directed the Secret Level episode, will also direct and serve as co-creator for the new animated show.
Henry Cavill, a well-known fan of Warhammer 40K, has been named an executive producer alongside Wilson. Cavill is already involved in the live-action adaptations of the game. Wilson is not the only talent from Secret Level joining this adaptation; Tim Miller, the creator of Secret Level, will also serve as an executive producer.
Blur Studios, co-founded by Miller, played a role in producing the anthology series. Each episode of Secret Level was based on a different video game, including the iconic Konrad. Games Workshop, the company behind the tabletop wargame, provided updates on their live-action projects in their recent financial report. The creative team has been slow to progress, with a script only recently being drafted several years after Amazon secured the rights to the property.
CEO Kevin Rountree confirmed Henry Cavill's ongoing involvement with the project, addressing fan concerns about potential changes in the cast.
