The project is described as an expensive genre show that is on the verge of being ordered for a season, but they want to make it more understandable for those unfamiliar with games.
Amazon MGM leadership reportedly believes that the Mass Effect series script needs to be refined so that it resonates better with a broader audience and viewers unfamiliar with games, so the project remains at a stage close to a full season order but with a request for rewriting.
Reports describe the show as an expensive genre drama, and by "broadening the audience," critics imply reducing the amount of fan service and direct references to the game trilogy in favor of a more standalone plot. The same article emphasizes that the series "The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power" is not planned to be canceled: Amazon MGM intends to carry the story through all five seasons without spin-offs, a direction personally supported by Jeff Bezos; the third season is expected in 2026.
