Henry Cavill is producing a Warhammer 40K Space Marines series animated by the perfect studio

Amazon MGM Studios, Blur Studios, and Games Workshop are collaborating on a new animated series based on the Warhammer 40,000 franchise. The show will be executive produced by Henry Cavill, who is also leading Amazon's live-action TV adaptation of the war game.

The animated series will feature The Deathwatch, an elite alien-hunting Space Marine group, and will be a long-form story set in the Warhammer 40,000 universe. According to IGN, the series will be directed and co-created by Dave Wilson and John Orloff, and will build on the foundation of the Warhammer 40,000 episode of Secret Level, an animated anthology series that aired in 2024.

The animation for the series will be handled by Blur Studios, which also worked on the Warhammer 40,000 episode of Secret Level. Details about the number of episodes and specific plot remain limited, but Wilson has described the project as a long-form story.
