The System Shock TV show has been cancelled

The System Shock TV show announced in 2021 is no longer moving ahead. “The company we were working with, they had also licensed the rights to a number of other video game properties,” Nightdive Studios chief Stephen Kick told FRVR. “I don’t believe that company is still around [in that form]. So that won’t be happening through Binge.”

Kick said “preliminary scripts” for the show were written, and that he’d had conversations with the screenwriters, “but that’s really as far as the whole thing went before it basically became vapour.” Still, he expressed hope that an adaptation might still happen, someday: “I would love to see System Shock adapted to either television or streaming or a movie. I think that would be the perfect vessel for that. And there are so many unique and creative ways that you could approach it.”
