Sure thing, let’s dive into this. So, get this: Doug Jung, the guy who wrote Star Trek Beyond back in 2016, yeah? He’s taking the helm for the new Mass Effect TV show. And honestly, I can’t stop thinking about how I spilled coffee when I heard the news. I’m not even sure why that’s relevant, but there you go.
Oh, and according to Deadline, which I always seem to be reading at 3 AM (don’t ask me why), Jung is not just writing the series but also running the whole show. Like, seriously multitasking! This dude wrote for The Cloverfield Paradox and a couple of episodes of Mindhunter on Netflix. That’s some range, huh? Plus, he’s doing this Apple+ show Chief of War. No idea when the guy sleeps.
He’s teaming up with Dan Casey and Michael Gamble from Electronic Arts. Which, by the way, makes me wonder if there’ll be some epic gaming Easter eggs in there. I guess we’ll find out when Amazon finally spills the beans on when this thing’s dropping. They gave it the green light last November, but we’re still in the dark on timing. Typical, right?
Meanwhile, their Fallout series got people talking—like in a good way. Season two is supposed to hit later this year. Let’s hope it doesn’t overshadow the Mass Effect project. Fingers crossed, eh?
