With its wealth of video game characters and storylines to mine, Prime Video’s upcoming adult animated anthology project “Secret Level” is a bonanza of stand-alone short films all centered around some of the industry’s most iconic titles.
“Deadpool’s” wildman Tim Miller created the series and executive produces alongside Dave Wilson, who also serves as the show’s supervising producer.
Emanating from Amazon MGM Studios and Blur Studio (“Love, Death + Robots”), “Secret Level” showcases 15 original animated stories inspired by the colorful universes of a full spectrum of popular sci-fi, horror and fantasy video game titles and will begin streaming on Prime Video on Dec. 10, 2024.

An enticing teaser for “Secret Level” was first released at Gamescom back in August that should have fans salivating over this creative fantasia of deeper dives into many of the biggest video game names ever conceived. Well, maybe not “Concord!”
For this first season, gaming titles being explored will be drawn from “Armored Core,” “Concord,” “Crossfire,” “Dungeons & Dragons,” “Exodus,” “Honor of Kings,” “Mega Man,” “New World: Aeternum,” “PAC-MAN,” PlayStation (showcasing a sample of PlayStation Studios creations), “Sifu,” “Spelunky,” “The Outer Worlds,” “Unreal Tournament” and “Warhammer 40,000.”
“Secret Level” powers up on Prime Video on Dec. 10, 2024 with a premiere episode debut. Subsequent chapters will roll out at the rate of two per week.
