Things have been up in the air as to what the status of whatever projects Games Workshop, Henry Cavill, and Amazon have been cooking up. In 2022, it was announced that Games Workshop and Cavill had entered into an agreement where Cavill would oversee adapting Games Workshop’s properties.

Things went pretty quiet until an update in 2024 by Cavill, as well as the release of the animated series called Secret Level which had an episode dedicated to Warhammer 40K. That episode was so good it was nominated for an Emmy.

Now, almost two years since that update we have another…

Mike Flanagan has been brought on to writer the Warhammer live action series. Flanagan is known mainly for horror having written and directed numerous films and television series. Cavill has also revealed that United Artists have been brought on to the project.

Finally, a new season of Secret Level is coming with the whole season dedicated to Warhammer 40,000, specifically the Deathwatch!

Check out the whole update below:

Some news got ahead of us last week, but we wanted to wait a quick beat for the dust to settle, some deals to finalise and, if nothing else, now confirm some rumours!

Firstly, Natalie Viscuso and I are indeed bringing on Mike Flanagan to write the Warhammer live action series! We have already been working with him to craft the creative, and we’re making some considerable advances in story. As the fans will know, it’s an absolute monster to wrestle but Mike’s extraordinary talents are helping it take form wonderfully.
Secondly, yes, we have also brought United Artists into the fold. They have such a deep wellspring of experience and talent that it was an easy decision to partner with them, especially after my experience with them on Highlander.

Finally, we are also working closely with Dave Wilson, John Orloff and Blur Studio on the newest Secret Level animation which will devote a whole season to Warhammer 40,000. Specifically, The Deathwatch! Dave has proven to be a master at his craft, he’s the lead on the project and we are supporting his titanic efforts and helping things line up with the overall universe plan.

Importantly, some of you have been asking if I will still be starring in the lead role in the live action TV series – rest assured, I most certainly will! Who that character is, however, shall remain a secret for now!

As a combined force and with the good folks at Games Workshop we are all working tirelessly to bring you the best, most Warhammer universe that you could possibly imagine.

So, guess we can expect the next update in 2028 going on the pattern?
