Amazon is developing a Wolfenstein TV show

Amazon is reportedly developing a TV series based on the Wolfenstein video game franchise, according to Variety. The show will be produced by Kilter Films, the company behind the adaptation of William Gibson's The Peripheral and the upcoming Fallout series. Patrick Somerville, the writer and showrunner of Station Eleven, will serve as the writer for the Wolfenstein adaptation. The details of the show's plot and how it will adapt the alternate history action of the games are still under wraps. However, the show's logline suggests that the "story of killing Nazis is evergreen," acknowledging the timely nature of the subject matter. MachineGames, the Microsoft-owned developer of the last five Wolfenstein games, has not produced a new entry since 2019's Wolfenstein: Youngblood and Wolfenstein: Cyberpilot. The studio released Indiana Jones and the Great Circle in December 2024. Given the uncertain state of Microsoft's Xbox division, the Wolfenstein TV series could be the best way for fans to get more content from the franchise, provided that Amazon decides to move forward with the project.
