A *Wolfenstein* TV series based on the popular video games is coming our way, and even more eye-catching is the official logline that accompanies the news.

Instead of a lengthy description of what the show will be, it simply states: "The story of killing Nazis is evergreen." (Truly, no notes.)

*Wolfenstein* is a series of shooter games that depict an alternate history. They largely focus on the character of William "B.J." Blazkowicz, a U.S. solider during World War II who goes behind enemy lines and discovers that the Nazis are using bizarre experiments and the occult in an attempt to shift the war in their favor.

The first game, *Castle Wolfenstein*, released in 1981. The most recent installments are 2019's *Wolfenstein: Youngblood* and the VR release *Wolfenstein: Cyberpilot*.

*Variety* first reported the news of the TV adaption, which was confirmed by the involved parties on social media.

Patrick Somerville of *Station Eleven* and *Maniac* is attached as the show's creator, writer, executive producer, and showrunner for Amazon MGM Studios. Also on board as EPs are Jonah Nolan, Lisa Joy, and Athena Wickham from Kilter Films, which produces Amazon's hit *Fallout* game-to-TV adaptation. On the gaming side, Jerk Gustafsson of *Wolfenstein* developer MachineGames will executive-produce alongside James Altman of Keyframe Films.

It should also be noted that Amazon is fully leaning into adapting video games as high-profile series. After *Fallout*, the company also have its sights on *Mass Effect*, *God of War*, and *Warhammer 40,000*, the latter starring Henry Cavill.
