Johnny Depp is making a TV collection primarily based on conspiracy-theory RPG, The Secret World

The transfer follows the surge in gamers that Funcom skilled following the current reboot of The Secret World into new on-line RPG Secret World Legends in June 2017.

Funcom says “the TV series is based on the wider Secret World universe, and centers on a team of undercover agents and the shadowy war between secret societies, the Illuminati, Dragon and the Templar.” It feels like an formidable undertaking, documenting supernatural adventures throughout a number of dimensions.

According to Funcom CEO Rui Casais, “The Secret World universe is full of stories just waiting to be told. From secret societies to myths and legends that are all coming true, The Secret World captures some of humanity’s greatest mysteries and asks “what if?”. As the builders of The Secret World and Secret World Legends, we expect it’s a incredible premise for a tv present and one we hope will seize the collective creativeness of the viewers.”

The estimated launch date hasn’t but been introduced, however a pilot has been written by James V. Hart (Hook, Dracula, Contact) and Jake Hart.
