RoboCop Series Greenlit for Prime Video with Blumhouse

Amazon Prime Video has greenlit an eight-episode Robocop series produced by Blumhouse Atomic Monster, with Peter Ocko as showrunner and writer and James Wan as an executive producer. Ed Neumeier, co-creator of the original film, will also serve as an executive producer, anchoring the new series to the 1987 classic created by Paul Verhoeven. The series’ logline remains faithful to the premise of a giant tech conglomerate placing a robot on the city’s police force, a robot imbued with the consciousness of a fallen officer. The project has been in development since Amazon acquired MGM in 2022, leveraging the studio’s deep IP library for a contemporary reimagining. Wan has emphasized his lifelong Robocop fandom and his aim to honor the original while updating the story for today’s tech-driven world. Official messaging positions the project as a fresh, global-audience reimagining that preserves the core themes of technology, power, and identity.
