News Mass Effect Mass Effect TV Series Snags Star Trek Beyond Writer as Showrunner Doug Jung’s previous credits also include The Cloverfield Paradox and Mindhunter. By Vanessa Armstrong | Published on June 6, 2025 Credit: BioWare Comment 0 Share New Share Credit: BioWare The television adaptation of the video game Mass Effect is moving forward at Amazon MGM Studios. Today, Deadline broke the news that Doug Jung—whose previous credits include writing 2016’s Star Trek Beyond, 2018’s The Cloverfield Paradox, and the upcoming Jason Momoa series, Chief of War—will serve as showrunner for the project. He joins writer Daniel Casey (F9: The Fast Saga), who has been working on Mass Effect for the past year or so. Amazon’s TV adaptation efforts for the BioWare video game franchise have been in the works for years. We got news that it was finally moving forward in November 2024, and the addition of Jung suggests that if we hold our breath and cross our fingers, we might get to see it one day on Prime Video. For those unfamiliar with the franchise (or who haven’t read the novelizations set in the Mass Effect world by N.K. Jemisin and Catherynne M. Valente), the first three games focus on Commander Shepard, a vet of the Systems Alliance Navy who finds themself tasked to fight against the Reapers, an AI alien species heading to the Milky Way with not-great-intentions for humanity. We still don’t have any casting news or when the series will go into production, but with Jung on board, odds are better than they were before that we’ll be getting more details soon.[end-mark] The post <i>Mass Effect</i> TV Series Snags <i>Star Trek Beyond</i> Writer as Showrunner appeared first on Reactor.
