Mass Effect Series to Be Directed by Star Trek Beyond’s Jung

Sure, here’s a reimagined version of the article:

So, here’s the wild news: Doug Jung, the dude who gave us Star Trek Beyond in 2016 (which, by the way, had some killer space scenes), is jumping on board to dive into the Mass Effect universe for TV. What’s up with that, right?

Anyway, Deadline—you know, the place you go to find out what’s what in Hollywood—says Jung isn’t just writing. Nope. He’s the big cheese, the showrunner. And if you’re thinking he sounds familiar, well, he’s the same guy who wrote The Cloverfield Paradox. Did I watch that? Maybe. Can’t remember.

Oh, and there’s more. He did some episodes of Mindhunter on Netflix, which was… dark. I don’t know why, but Netflix crime series have a knack for sticking in my brain. Maybe it’s the eerie music?

But hold your horses—there’s still more. Apparently, he also had a hand in Chief of War on Apple+? Seriously, when does this guy sleep?

So, he’s not flying solo. Dan Casey and Michael Gamble (from Electronic Arts, because of course) are also on board as executive producers. Team effort or what?

In case you’re wondering when you can sit down and binge this thing, Amazon said “yep” to the Mass Effect show back in November 2024. But yeah, crickets on a release date so far.

Meanwhile, they just dropped the Fallout TV show, and folks are loving it. Season two’s already on the way. Can you believe that? It’s like a TV renaissance or something.

And, um, yeah… that’s the scoop. What’s next, I wonder? A Knight Rider reboot? Who knows?
