Audition opportunities for the Mass Effect TV series have surfaced, and if you resemble a youthful doppelganger of Colin Farrell, prepare for a potential breakthrough in your acting career!
Amazon is developing a Mass Effect TV show, according to recent reports. The series, which has been relatively quiet for several years, is rumoured to include both legacy and potentially new characters from the popular video game franchise.
Daniel Richtman leaked a casting call for the TV show via Eurogamer, revealing roles for a young Colin Farrell-type male (aged 30-39), a female co-lead alien character requiring prosthetics (34-39), a female human at the center of a separate plot on Earth, a Doug Jones-type male villain (40-60), and a male wrestler-type soldier (30-49).
The casting call has led to speculation about which characters from the games each role may refer to. Some believe that the young male character could be a character named Shepard, while others suggest the female co-lead alien character could be Liara. The roles for Saren and James Vega from the original games have also been mentioned.
However, it's important to note that no official confirmation names these characters specifically. The plot of the Mass Effect TV show is also currently a mystery, with no information available about its direction. It's possible that the show's plot may reflect the one from the games, but it may also differ significantly.
The Mass Effect TV show may opt to tell a wholly original story in the wider ME universe, brushing up against characters and plots fans know and love without shackling it to the original narrative. This approach was seen in Amazon's Fallout show, which did not strictly follow the original game's narrative.
Joshua Wolens, a writer who has written for Vice, Fanbyte, and the Financial Times, among others, has a particular fondness for CRPGs, immersive sims, and games with ambitious designs. It's unclear if Wolens is involved in the Mass Effect TV show's development, but his passion for the genre could indicate a commitment to staying true to the source material.
As for the plot's potential reveal, it may not be disclosed until Amazon decides to share it. For now, fans can only speculate and wait for more information about the Mass Effect TV show.
