Will Apex Legends get a TV show? Everything we know Respawn EntertainmentApex Legends\u2019 popularity has spawned rumors of a spin-off TV show potentially coming to Netflix in the near future. While little has been confirmed by EA or Respawn Entertainment, some rumors and leaks have emerged. Here\u2019s everything we know thus far. One of the most popular aspects of Apex Legends has been its diverse, original, and well-realized character pool. Each has their own back story, lore, and character traits, and are so well developed that some fans believe they would make a great cast in a spin-off TV show or movie. While video game adaptations can sometimes go sideways (see Mortal Kombat: Annihilation), many remain positive over Apex Legends\u2019 ability to translate to a different medium. It\u2019s still early days yet but it appears a bigger project might be in the works after all. With various devs on board with the idea and a few even teasing already, here\u2019s what we know about a potential Apex TV show. Contents Apex Legends TV Show rumors & leaks – Apex Legends devs tease 2022 announcement – Apex Legends TV Show release date – Apex Legends TV show: Initial rumors and leaks The first major indicator that a TV show or spin-off series could be in the works came back in the summer of 2020. Game Director Chad Grenier was the first to comment on the idea, confessing that he would \u201clove\u201d to see a Netflix animated series. \u201cA Netflix animated series of Apex? Yeah, I would love to do that\u2026 that sounds awesome,\u201d Grenier admitted to GamesRadar. \u201cSign me up!\u201d At the time, he reminded fans that Respawn itself was \u201cfocused on the game.\u201d But he was more than open to \u201clisten\u201d to any TV show pitch that came his way.

During a Reddit AMA, the Respawn dev was asked about a Netflix or Amazon Prime TV show. He responded with a zipped mouth emoji, which many took to mean a project is in the works, but he is currently unable to disclose any more information. Apex Legends TV show: Developers tease 2022 announcement While months of silence followed, the rumors didn\u2019t quite end with Rigney\u2019s emoji. Another two developers followed up on December 30, once again hinting that an Apex series is in the pipeline. Similar to the last public teaser, Lead Writer Amanda Doiron simply added another emoji to the mix on Twitter. Though this time, her input came in response to an Apex-style intro mirroring that of Arcane. \u201cIt\u2019s fantastic,\u201d she soon followed up. \u201cI gave it a little gasp face, but I think it may have communicated deeper meaning to others.\u201d I\u2026have some conversations yo follow up on come January \ud83d\udc40 #ApexLegends https:\/\/t.co\/6GZLiknRXS \u2014 Tim Lewinson \ud83c\uddef\ud83c\uddf2 \ud83c\udde8\ud83c\udde6 (@VancouverTim) December 30, 2021 Next came Senior Producer Tim Lewinson with perhaps the most concrete evidence yet. \u201cI\u2026have some conversations to follow up on come January,\u201d he chimed in. Apex Legends TV show: Possible release date There\u2019s currently no telling when an Apex Legends show might release, if, in fact, there is a show in the works. Animated projects can take years to reach completion, especially at the high-quality fans have come to expect from various cinematics and trailers over the years. Depending on when development started for the possible Apex series, we could be looking at a three or four year timeframe from start to finish. Obviously, there\u2019s still no concrete proof any of this means an Apex series is on the way. Though the teasers are piling up and now, we have a rough date to look towards.
