Mirror's Edge TV Show Rights Picked up By "Biggest Loser" Company

A scripted TV show based on the DICE game is apparently on the way.

Faith is running to the small screen.

Deadline reports that The Biggest Loser and Master Chef production company Endemol Shine North America has acquired the rights to make a Mirror's Edge scripted TV show.

No Caption Provided

There is no word yet on who would play main character Faith Connors, if she is indeed the star of the show. Whatever the case, Endemol said the Mirror's Edge brand has mass appeal.

"We clearly see Mirror's Edge as a franchise for the global TV audience," studio president Sharon Hall said. "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."

This isn't the first time we've heard about a TV show based on an EA game. In 2012, it was reported that Fox was making a Battlefield: Bad Company TV show, though that never came to fruition. Earlier this year, there was talk about a Titanfall TV show.

GameSpot has followed up with EA in an attempt to get more details on the Mirror's Edge TV show.

The first Mirror's Edge game came out in 2008. The free-running game was generally well-received, and a sequel, Mirror's Edge: Catalyst, is scheduled to launch on June 7.

"Should we have Faith that this will be any good?"

All questions in news headlines can safely be answered 'no'.

Basically it's a reality show where people have to jump from one roof to the other and the way they base who they choose to kick off is by who falls and dies. =P

Er, aren't the Biggest Loser people under fire for actively harming contestants, lies, and sleazy exploitation?

This will only succeed if it has at least 40 microwaves.

And probably fulled with entirely white actors, just saying, one of these days Hollywood will finally nail it as they did with the superhero genre. I am just not holding my breath.

@skipper847 look at every anime, and video game made into live action tv and film media, hence my point.

At least watching free-running will be entertaining as long as they don't inject badly written melodrama into it. Ah who am I kidding, it's going to be mostly bad drama with maybe 30 seconds of running per episode.

Why do I feel like this will just be a reboot of Nikita?

@brn-dn: never though of that...i hope not but if Maggie Q is cast as the "Unnamed female lead" then it will be just that :/ I just dont see how a production company thats know for reality shows is going to make a fictional tv show based on a background thats been re-written inless its random characters and/or it takes place while Faith is in jail *sigh*
