Amazon Preps RoboCop Series for Prime Video With Dan Stevens
Peter Ocko will serve as showrunner and James Wan as executive producer on the Prime Video adaptation, according to screenrant.com.
Amazon is developing a new RoboCop television series for Prime Video, with Peter Ocko attached as showrunner and James Wan serving as executive producer, according to screenrant.com. Dan Stevens has been cast as Alex Murphy, the police officer who becomes RoboCop.
The project is set up at Prime Video, the streaming service behind series such as The Boys and Invincible. No release date has been announced.
The franchise began with the original RoboCop film in 1987, directed by Paul Verhoeven. A year later, an animated RoboCop series followed, and in 1994 a live-action series aired.
From 1998 to 1999, another animated series titled RoboCop: Alpha Commando ran, and in 2001 a live-action miniseries called RoboCop: Prime Directives was released.
The most recent feature, the 2014 RoboCop movie, allowed Murphy to show his face and reunite with his family, dropping the original film's anti-corporate satire.
