Wolfenstein is the next game series to get an adaptation for TV
Amazon MGM Studios has selected yet another video game series for a TV show adaptation – and this time it’s Wolfenstein.
As reported by Variety, the exact plot details have yet to be disclosed, but the show’s official tagline reminds us that “the story of killing Nazis is evergreen”.
Jonah Nolan (aka Jonathan Nolan) and Lisa Joy – names you would’ve seen on the credits of Fallout – are already on board as executive producers, along with Athena Wickham, James Altman, and MachineGames’ Jerk Gustafsson. Patrick Somerville will serve as creator, writer, executive producer, and showrunner under his production company, chaoticgood.tv.
Variety reports Somerville – who created the shows Maniac and Station Eleven – has reportedly been a fan of the Wolfenstein games “since he was a child”.
Amazon is clearly looking to replicate the success of its hugely successful game-to-TV adaptation, Fallout, which has already been renewed for a third season on Amazon Prime, even though the show’s second season’s December 2025 debut is still months away.
