New scripted Mirror’s Edge TV show reportedly coming soon
It looks as though Faith will soon be running and jumping onto the small screen very soon. Endemic Shine North America, the production company behind The Biggest Loser and Master Chef, has attained the rights to make a Mirror’s Edge TV show.
Now the questions begin: who would play main character Faith Connors? Is she even the star of the new scripted show? Hopefully, Endemol lets us know soon.
For its part, Endemol has confidence that the show will appeal to a mass audience. “We clearly see Mirror’s Edge as a franchise for the global TV audience,” studio president Sharon Hall says. “It has a strong female protagonist, a wildly rabid fan base, and a worldwide brand that Electronic Arts and EA DICE have done an amazing job establishing.”
Before you get too excited, though, remember that we have heard this before; there was talk of a Battlefield: Bad Company show and one for Titalfall – neither of which have yet to see the light of day. Here’s hoping that the Mirror’s Edge TV show is different.
Mirror’s Edge has been a successful game franchise since the first game came out in 2008. Its free-running, parkour style was fairly well-received. Now, a sequel, Mirror’s Edge: Catalyst, is due to hit current-gen consoles and PC June 7. Check out this info on the Closed Beta.
