Amazon MGM Studios has given the green light for a new RoboCop TV series, inspired by the iconic 1987 film directed by Paul Verhoeven. The show has enlisted Peter Ocko from Lodge 49 as its showrunner, with James Wan from The Conjuring on board as one of its producers. Wan expressed his excitement, stating that the original movie's themes of technology, identity, and corporate influence remain relevant today.
This TV series isn't the first time RoboCop has ventured beyond the big screen. Previous adaptations include an animated series in 1988, two film sequels, a live-action series in 1994, and the Alpha Commando animated series in 1998. After a hiatus, the franchise made a gaming comeback with RoboCop: Rogue City in 2023, developed by Teyon. The game received positive reviews for its faithful representation of the RoboCop universe.
Looking ahead, Teyon's next project is 'Hunter: The Reckoning - Deathwish,' an action game set in the World of Darkness universe. Scheduled for a 2027 release, the game follows a group of hunters on a mission to eliminate a dangerous vampire. Meanwhile, the future of a new RoboCop game appears uncertain, with Nacon, the publisher of Rogue City, facing insolvency.
