Games Workshop Group Plc has recently announced a delightful partnership with Amazon Content Services LLC, a unit of Amazon.com, Inc., to develop films and television series based on Games Workshop’s Warhammer 40,000 universe. This agreement, which was initially revealed in December of last year, includes the development of associated merchandising rights.
In December 2022, Games Workshop had already disclosed a preliminary agreement with Amazon to transform their intellectual property into captivating film and television productions while granting merchandising rights. Now, Games Workshop has exclusively granted Amazon the rights to create films and television series set within the Warhammer 40,000 universe. Additionally, there is an exciting option for Amazon to acquire equivalent rights in the Warhammer Fantasy universe once the initial Warhammer 40,000 production is released.
To ensure a harmonious collaboration, the companies have planned to work together for a period of 12 months to establish creative guidelines for the upcoming films and television series. The agreement will only proceed once both parties have mutually agreed upon these guidelines. Games Workshop has assured that further announcements will be made in due course.
It’s worth noting that there are no changes to Games Workshop’s forecast for the 53-week period ending on June 2, 2024. Fans of the Warhammer universe can eagerly anticipate the thrilling adaptations that will soon grace their screens.
