- Amazon MGM Studios acquired global rights to Warhammer 40,000 in December 2024 with Henry Cavill set to executive produce and star, creating the framework for Flanagan's involvement.

- Production continues on a Warhammer-inspired episode for Prime Video's Secret Level anthology series, which Games Workshop said is "almost completed," alongside an animated series featuring Space Marine Deathwatch characters.
