Anticipated Amazon TV Series by Wolfenstein's Producer Promise: More Nazi Slaughtering Escapades Awaiting Audience Enthusiasm
The Wolfenstein franchise, known for its thrilling first-person shooter games, is expanding into a new medium – television. The story of killing Nazis, it seems, is evergreen, as Amazon MGM Studios is developing a live-action Wolfenstein TV series for Prime Video.
The TV adaptation, still in early development, will focus on an American Army captain fighting a global Nazi regime in a dystopian sci-fi setting. Patrick Somerville is attached as the creator, writer, executive producer, and showrunner for the series. Jerk Gustafsson of MachineGames, the studio behind the recent Wolfenstein games, is producing the TV series. Jonah Nolan and Lisa Joy from Kilter Films are also executive producers.
The plot of the Wolfenstein TV series is being kept a closely guarded secret. However, the series promises to continue the franchise's core spirit. The increased engagement in the Fallout series when its TV series premiered has led to speculation about potential plans for a newer Wolfenstein game around the time of the TV Series.
MachineGames, the developers of the recent Wolfenstein games, led development on titles such as Wolfenstein: The New Order, Wolfenstein: The Old Blood, and Wolfenstein: The New Colossus. For Wolfenstein: Youngblood, they teamed up with Arkane Lyon.
While the franchise is expanding into television, there is no confirmed new Wolfenstein game currently in development or announced by Bethesda Softworks or MachineGames after the TV series announcement. The most recent Wolfenstein games were released in 2019 (Wolfenstein: Youngblood and Wolfenstein: Cyberpilot), and no new mainline entry has been confirmed since then.
There is some recent activity around the 2009 Wolfenstein game related to possible updates or testing for a re-release on platforms like Steam, but this does not confirm a new game development; it may indicate preparation for a remaster or re-launch rather than a brand-new title.
On a separate note, MachineGames has opened a second studio in Sweden in 2024, which is still in the process of staffing up. This new studio may suggest potential future projects for MachineGames, including a new Wolfenstein game.
