Summary
Mike Flanagan has completed initial outlines for Amazon’s Warhammer 40,000 adaptation and should soon move to script, Games Workshop said in a financial report.
Henry Cavill and Vertigo remain involved in the project, easing speculation after months of silence, though Games Workshop still gave no setting, character or film-versus-series details.
Amazon also nearly finished one Secret Level Season 2 episode set in Warhammer: Age of Sigmar, expanding beyond the Warhammer 40,000 universe.
A full animated Warhammer 40,000 series centered on the Deathwatch is already in development for Amazon, with John Orloff writing and Blur returning to animate.
The update marks the clearest progress since Games Workshop and Amazon finalized their Warhammer screen deal in December 2024, but the live-action universe still appears to be in early development.
