Warhammer 40,000 is getting a TV series

It was recently posted by warhammer-community.com that Warhammer 40k will be getting a TV series starring  Inquisitor of the Ordo Xenos, Gregor Eisenhorn. Eisenhorn was explored in series of books by Dan Abnett, who had to say this about the character:

“Gregor Eisenhorn is a relentless force in the Dark Future of the Warhammer universe: a destroyer of daemons and a purger of heretics, implacable, powerful and dedicated. But the appeal to me, from the moment I started writing him, was his complexity. He is not the simple, ruthless hero he appears to be. His battle with the Warp leads him into dark places and forces him to question his duty, his understanding of the Imperium, and his own identity. With Eisenhorn, it’s not just the adventures, and they are certainly vivid: it’s the journey he takes to the very limits of what he is and what it means to be loyal.”

The show will be produced by Big Light Productions and Frank Spotnitz (Man in the High Castle, The X-Files). Frank had to say this about the project:

“We are delighted to collaborate with Games Workshop to develop the beloved visionary world of Warhammer 40,000 into a TV series. Warhammer 40,000 is steeped in rich and complex lore, with a myriad of traditions and stories that have accumulated over time in this thrilling and complex world, making it one of the most exciting properties to adapt for television audiences and the franchise’s loyal global fanbase. There is nothing else like it on television, and we are incredibly excited to tap into our own experience creating imaginative, complex and compelling worlds to bring this incredible saga to the screen.”

For now we don't have any details about a release date as the show is only in the early stages of development.
