Star Trek Beyond writer Doug Jung has been appointed showrunner of Amazon Prime’s Mass Effect adaptation.
As reported by Deadline, Jung will also serve as executive producer on the project. Jung is currently executive producer and showrunner of Apple TV+’s Chief of War. He also has credits on series including Mindhunter, Banshee, and Big Love.
Jung will join writer Dan Casey, who is also an executive producer on the project. Electronic Arts’ Michael Gamble, Cedar Tree Productions’ Karim Zreik, and Arad Productions’ Ari Arad and Emmy Tu will also produce.
Amazon’s Mass Effect adaptation was greenlit last November, when Casey’s involvement was also announced.
The streaming platform has found major success with its adaptation of the Fallout franchise, with its second season premiering later this year. It has also been renewed for a third season.
