Prime Video has today given a series order to the original drama series Robocop based on the film franchise of the same name. An episode count and premiere date window were not immediately announced.
A giant tech conglomerate convinces the city to place a powerful robot on its police force - a robot implanted with the consciousness of a beloved, fallen officer.
Peter Ocko developed the series. He will executive produce with James Wan, Michael Clear, Rob Hackett, Ed Neumeier and Michael Miner. Amazon MGM Studios and Blumhouse Atomic Monster will produce.
"Robocop is a franchise that has meant something to audiences for nearly four decades - not just as an action spectacle, but as a sharp, provocative mirror of our relationship with technology and power," said Peter Friedlander, Head of Global Television, Amazon MGM Studios. "Peter Ocko has crafted a vision that honors the soul of what made the original so enduring while building something entirely fresh and urgent for today. Paired with the cinematic sensibility of James Wan and the team at Blumhouse Atomic Monster, we believe this series will captivate a whole new generation of fans on Prime Video."
