Prime Video is moving forward with a TV show adaptation of the Mass Effect games, which are set in a space-faring future.
One of the most surprising occurrences in entertainment over the past few years has been the rapid rise in the quality of video game adaptations. Shows and movies based on games used to be punchlines. Now they're some of the hottest properties in Hollywood. The streaming services have found success with video game TV shows as well, and Prime Video plans to continue that trend with a new original series based on the Mass Effect games.
The report didn't include details about the plot, so we do not know if it will be a direct adaptation or simply draw inspiration from the games. The original Mass Effect trilogy follows Commander Shepard and a group of soldiers in the 22nd century as they try to save the human race from aliens known as Reapers. In the universe of the games, humans have discovered faster-than-light travel and made contact with a wide variety of alien civilizations.
