Amazon is making a Robocop TV show with the showrunner from Lodge 49

亚马逊要拍《机器战警》电视剧了，而且请来了原片编剧和《海王》导演亲自坐镇，这阵容简直自带话题度。亚马逊米高梅工作室正式预订了八集《机器战警》电视剧，由《洛奇49号》的剧集主管彼得·奥科操刀，他曾参与《办公室》《生死暂停》等经典剧集。恐怖片大佬温子仁（《电锯惊魂》《海王》）担任制片人，而最让人意外的是，1987年原版电影的联合编剧埃德·诺迈尔也回归担任执行制片人。原版电影讽刺的是巨型企业“消费品公司”——一家什么都插手的全宇宙级垄断企业，而亚马逊自己现在不就是现实版的“消费品公司”吗？这剧怕不是要自黑自家老板？对普通观众来说，这是经典IP时隔多年后再次焕新，而且制作班底相当靠谱。同时，这部剧很可能延续原作的尖锐社会讽刺，探讨科技巨头、身份认同和公司责任等议题——这些话题在当下比1987年更应景，追剧时顺手思考一下“我是谁、我为谁打工”也挺有意思。

Entertainment TV & Movies Amazon is making a Robocop TV show with the showrunner from Lodge 49 Does the company know that it is, in fact, Omni Consumer Products? By Lawrence Bonk July 21, 2026 1:34 pm EST Amazon MGM Studios Amazon has officially ordered eight episodes of a TV show based on the Robocop franchise, according to a report by Variety. We already knew the company was working on a pilot, but now it's gotten a full series order. The showrunner behind this adaptation is a guy named Peter Ocko. He's been in the writer's room for all kinds of great shows, like The Office, Pushing Daisies and The Leftovers, to name a few. He was also the showrunner on the bizarre and strangely captivating cult series Lodge 49. James Wan, the co-creator of Saw and the director of the Aquaman movies, is producing. Interestingly, Ed Neumeier is on board as an executive producer. He co-wrote the original Robocop film, which was directed by luminary Paul Verhoeven. "What Paul Verhoeven created in 1987 was decades ahead of its time, and its questions about technology, identity and who corporations really serve have only grown more urgent," Wan said in a statement. We'll have to wait and see just how pointed the commentary is. After all, the main villain of the first film was Omni Consumer Products. This was a global behemoth of a company that had its hands in just about everything, including weird robots. That sounds a whole lot like Amazon to me. We don't have a cast yet, or a release window. The first Robocop film is nearly 40 years old at this point, so the franchise has definitely had some staying power. It spawned two sequels, some cartoons and even other live-action TV adaptations. Most recently, there was a reboot film that came out in 2014. RoboCop: Rogue City, a video game, was released a few years ago. It was surprisingly good and well worth the time for any fans of the franchise.
