Games Workshop, the owner of the Warhammer franchise, has provided an update on the progress of Amazon’s Warhammer 40,000 series, which was initially announced in December 2022.
After a full year has passed, Games Workshop has confirmed that they have signed a full agreement with Amazon (the initial agreement was a broad agreement in principle). From now on, the project will move forward, starting with planning, scriptwriting, before moving on to the production process.
Games Workshop has stated that they have not yet decided which part of the Warhammer 40,000 storyline should be told first and whether they should start with a series or a film. However, the group of screenwriters has already come together, led by Henry Cavill, a well-known actor who is a devoted fan of Warhammer and has been cast as the project’s protagonist.
According to BBC reports, Games Workshop will spend another 12 months ahead, developing the overall creative direction for the project. Once this direction is developed, and there is mutual agreement with Amazon, they will proceed to the actual production and filming process. This means that fans will have to wait a while longer before they can see the project come to life.
TLDR: Games Workshop has signed a full agreement with Amazon for the Warhammer 40,000 series after a year of discussions. They are currently in the planning and scriptwriting phase, with Henry Cavill playing the lead role. It will take another 12 months before production and filming begin.
