A Wolfenstein TV series is in development by the Fallout TV series people: 'The story of killing Nazis is evergreen'

Variety reports that Amazon is developing a Wolfenstein TV series with Patrick Somerville, who made post-apocalyptic miniseries Station Eleven and wrote some of HBO's The Leftovers (a show with a genuinely good twist), and Kilter Films, the production company behind Amazon's Fallout TV show.

Variety says that the show's being pitched with the one-sentence description: "The story of killing Nazis is evergreen."

That echoes the tone of the recent Wolfenstein games from Bethesda and MachineGames. Back in 2017 (which I guess is not all that recent… time flies), Bethesda advertised Wolfenstein 2: The New Colossus with lines like "Make America Nazi-Free Again," which predictably led to complaints.
