In December 2022, Games Workshop and Amazon Studios announced a deal that allowed Amazon to develop films, television series, and merchandise relating to Games Workshop intellectual property. They also announced that the first media to be developed will be a television adaptation of the Warhammer 40,000 tabletop wargame franchise.[1][2]
Actor Henry Cavill confirmed that he will star in the show, stating that he has been a fan of the franchise since childhood, and that starring in a live-action adaptation had been a lifelong dream of his.[3][4] It was also announced that Cavill will serve as executive producer.[5] The announcement came in the wake of Cavill retiring his roles as Superman and Geralt of Rivia in the DC Extended Universe and The Witcher, respectively.[3][4] In 2024, a rumor began to spread online that Cavill had left production of the series due to Games Workshop adding female characters to Warhammer, although this rumor was unsubstantiated.[6]
In December 2023, Games Workshop and Amazon Studios began to work on a deal to officially begin production of the series. It was announced that the series may take "two to three years" to release.[7][8] The deal was finalized in December 2024.[9][10][11]
