Heads up gamers! Prime Video is aggregating some of your favorite video games into a single universe for Secret Level, a first-of-its-kind adult-animated anthology series that is set to premiere soon on the streamer. Dubbed a celebration of games and gamers, the series is the brainchild of Tim Miller, the same creative mind that birthed Love, Death & Robots, an animated anthology series that proved a hit with Netflix subscribers and with critics and has been renewed for a fourth season. Both shows are alike on many levels, and it appears Secret Level will serve well to tide Love, Death & Robots fans over while production continues on Season 4.
A collaboration between Amazon MGM Studios and Blur Studio, Secret Level was unveiled today during the Gamescom Opening Night Live global livestream. The series will feature original short stories, each one set within a unique world of a particular video game. Per the synopsis, “Each episode of Secret Level serves as a gateway to a new adventure, unlocking exciting worlds from beloved gaming classics and highly anticipated new titles.” Prime Video promises to put a captivating spin on every game’s story to take audiences on an unforgettable journey, one mind-bending episode at a time with a total of 15 episodes commissioned for Season 1.
“Secret Level weaves a tapestry of iconic games across multiple mediums, to tell a series of unique and captivating stories,” said Vernon Sanders, head of television, Amazon MGM Studios. “Created and led by Tim Miller, Blur Studio, and Supervising Director Dave Wilson, each episode will take our global Prime Video customers on a brand new journey with breathtaking animation and imaginative storytelling.” Wilson also doubles as executive producer for the series. The one-minute teaser trailer released by Prime Video is the stuff of every gamer’s dreams, as it indeed features stunning visuals that stay true to the quality of the games featured.
