Warhammer 40,000 Animation Starring Space Marine 2’s Titus Reportedly Part of Amazon’s Secret Level Anthology Series

Amazon’s recently revealed Prime Video animated anthology series reportedly includes a Warhammer 40,000 episode.

Last week, Deadline reported that Amazon was working with the team behind Netflix’s much-loved series, Love, Death & Robots, for an adult-focused animated anthology of its own called Secret Level.

Secret Level is made up of original short stories set in the worlds of video games. Deadline reported that Amazon Games’ New World, Spelunky, and PlayStation titles were “rumored to be among the games and IP featured on the series,” with a reveal potentially set for gamescom’s Opening Night Live this Tuesday, August 20.

Now, Redanian Intelligence has followed up with a report that claims that Clive Standen (Vikings) will reprise his role as Lieutenant Titus from the upcoming Warhammer 40,000 Space Marine 2 in Secret Level on an episode called Chaos. Chaos is the blanket term for factions associated with Warhammer 40,000’s ruinous powers, and revolves around demons and traitor Space Marines.

Redanian Intelligence adds that Max Rinehart (Unforgotten, Noah Hawley’s Alien) is set to play a character called Julius, speculated to be another Ultramarine alongside Titus.

Other Secret Level episodes reportedly in the works include one called The Outer Worlds, which is perhaps based on Obsidian’s sci-fi RPG of the same name. Brenock O’Connor, who played Olly in Game of Thrones, is set to play a character called Amos in that episode. An episode based on id Software’s Doom is also reportedly on the list. Sequels to both The Outer Worlds and Doom are in the works.

News of a potential Prime Video Warhammer 40,000 animation comes amid ongoing discussion between Games Workshop, which owns the hugely popular tabletop game, and Amazon for Henry Cavill’s Warhammer 40,000 film and TV series. As IGN reported last month, Games Workshop and Amazon have until December 2024 to agree on “creative guidelines” or the film and TV series won’t happen.

Meanwhile, Games Workshop publishes Warhammer animations of its own via its Warhammer+ subscription service. However, Warhammer+ has had a tough 2024 on the animation front, with fans expressing disappointment at the number of series released so far. A hotly anticipated sequel to the fan-favorite Astartes series is currently AWOL, with Games Workshop yet to comment on a release window.
