Mass Effect Show to Be Directed by Star Trek Beyond Writer Jung

Absolutely! Time to dive in. So, um, Doug Jung—yeah, the guy behind “Star Trek Beyond” in 2016—is, like, steering the ship for this new Mass Effect TV series. Wild, huh? I mean, it’s like he’s jumping from one space gig to another. Maybe that’s his thing now. Or maybe it’s… I don’t know, just the way Hollywood works?

Anyway, I saw somewhere, maybe Deadline, that this dude’s not just writing the series; he’s also running the show. Which sounds intense. I can’t even manage my own life sometimes, and here’s Doug juggling a whole series. Also, remember “The Cloverfield Paradox”? NOT everyone’s cup of tea, but hey, that’s another notch on his belt. Plus, he wrote for that Netflix show, “Mindhunter.” Crime dramas get under my skin, but in a good way, y’know?

And then he’s in on some Apple+ show called “Chief of War.” Historical drama, apparently. Can’t say I’ve watched it. My to-watch list is more like a never-ending scroll at this point.

So, Doug’s not flying solo. He’s got some partners-in-crime—Dan Casey and Michael Gamble from Electronic Arts. Bet they have stories to tell, right? Like, game devs and TV writers in one room? Who’s bringing the snacks?

Amazon waved the green flag on the Mass Effect show back in November 2024. That’s… math… sometime ago? No idea when it’s actually hitting our screens, though. Waiting games are the worst. Oh, speaking of waiting, the Fallout show on Amazon got some serious praise. Haven’t binge-watched it yet, but apparently, the second season’s dropping soon. Fingers crossed they keep the good stuff coming.

Okay, that’s my brain dump for now. Cheers!
