Amazon MGM Studios, Blur Studios, and Games Workshop are officially developing an animated Warhammer 40,000 event series. First reported exclusively by Variety, the project serves as a spinoff to the animated anthology series Secret Level with Henry Cavill attached to executive produce.

Dave Wilson, who directed the Warhammer 40,000 episode of Secret Level, serves as co-creator and director alongside writer John Orloff (Band of Brothers, Masters of the Air). Wilson executive produces for Blur Studios alongside Secret Level creator Tim Miller, with Cavill, Natalie Viscuso, Vertigo Entertainment’s Roy Lee, and Games Workshop’s Andy Smillie rounding out the executive production team.

While specific plot details remain under wraps, the series will focus on The Deathwatch, an elite unit of Space Marines specializing in hunting alien threats across the galaxy. The animated project is being developed alongside Prime Video’s separate live-action Warhammer 40,000 series, which Cavill is also attached to star in and executive produce.
