Star Trek Beyond Writer Jung to Direct Mass Effect Series

Sure, here’s a rewritten version of the article with a more casual, human touch:

—

So, ever heard of Doug Jung? Yeah, that guy. He’s the brain behind the script for “Star Trek Beyond” back in 2016. Now, here’s the kicker—he’s diving into the world of “Mass Effect.” Yep, he’s taking the reins on this new TV show. Crazy, right?

Anyway — no, wait — so, this was reported by Deadline. Doug isn’t just writing the thing. Nope. He’s also gonna be the showrunner. I mean, handling all of it. What a ride. Oh, and remember “The Cloverfield Paradox” from 2018? That twisty space thing? Doug was behind that too. Plus, he wrote a couple of episodes for “Mindhunter” on Netflix. I was hooked on that one, I swear. True crime and all that jazz.

And—get this—he’s got his hands all over Apple+’s drama, “Chief of War,” as both a writer and producer. How does he do it? No clue.

So, Doug’s not flying solo. He’s teaming up as an executive producer with Dan Casey and Michael Gamble. Yeah, Gamble’s from Electronic Arts, the folks behind “Mass Effect.” Makes sense, I guess.

Now, Amazon—who apparently knows how to throw money around—said “Yes!” to this “Mass Effect” project in November 2024. But, here’s the thing: nobody knows when it’ll actually hit our screens. Waiting game’s on, folks.

Oh, fun side note: Amazon’s recent “Fallout” TV show? People loved it. Critically acclaimed or whatever. Season two’s coming this year. Maybe this “Mass Effect” thing will follow suit. Who knows? Let’s see where this wild journey takes us.

Fingers crossed, right?
