Movement from Amazon's Mass Effect TV Series, Fast & Furious 9 Writer Signed | Push Square
If the long-awaited launch of Dragon Age: The Veilguard wasn't enough to satiate your BioWare cravings, we've finally had an update on that Mass Effect TV series first reported in 2021. An adaptation is officially being developed at Amazon MGM Studios by Fast & Furious 9 writer Daniel Casey.
Word comes to us through an exclusive scoop from Variety (thanks, IGN). The outlet reports that EA's Michael Gamble, the director of the next Mass Effect game, has signed on as an executive producer, along with Karim Zreik and Ari Arad. Plot details are currently being kept under tight lock and key.
It was reported back in 2021 that Amazon was in negotiations to strike a deal on a Mass Effect TV adaptation, and there have been various attempts at getting a film off the ground over the years. We fell off the Fast & Furious series well before the ninth instalment and thus are unfamiliar with Casey's work, but Zreik served on both Marvel's Daredevil and The Punisher shows. Meanwhile, Arad was involved in the unfortunate Borderlands movie that was recently bombed, as well as the Uncharted film and the original Iron Man, which we liked.
It's a «quieter» year from BioWare
Stays that way as long as Gamble runs things

It's like they just want to lose money.
Isn't Fast and Furious 9 the worst of the series… It had so much potential with the entire franchise cast being in one film.
Off course it doesn't mean that this will be evenly bad
