The Alan Wake TV series from AMC is no longer moving forward, GamesRadar+ can confirm, as Remedy Entertainment partners with Annapurna to develop and produce Control and Alan Wake adaptations for film and television. “We have moved on from AMC amicably as their rights to Alan Wake expired. Annapurna is now leading the charge to take Control and Alan Wake to film, TV, and beyond,” Thomas Puha, Remedy’s communications director, tells me.
“We have moved on from AMC amicably as their rights to Alan Wake expired”
With AMC’s claim to Alan Wake’s rights expiring, Annapurna has stepped in to help bring Alan Wake beyond video games. Little is know yet, althoughRemedy creative director Sam Lake said the following in a press release: “I’m absolutely thrilled by this opportunity to expand the story of Alan Wake and our whole Remedy Connected Universe to mediums beyond games, and to build all of this in close collaboration, games, film, TV, and other mediums as well, as one unified vision. I trust Annapurna are the perfect partner for us to make this dream come true.” It’s understood that Remedy remains in control of the rights to the franchise.
This is exciting in part because Alan Wake 2 is easily one of thebest Remedy games.
