“(Showrunner) Peter Ocko has crafted a vision that honors the soul of what made the original so enduring while building something entirely fresh and urgent for today,” Amazon MGM Studios’ Head of Global TV Peter Friedlander said at the time of the pickup about the series, which takes a contemporary look at the questions the 1987 movie raised “about technology, identity, and who corporations really serve,” as James Wan put it at the time.”

Ocko serves as showrunner and executive produces alongside Wan, Michael Clear and Rob Hackett through Blumhouse Atomic Monster, with co-executive producer Danielle Bozzone overseeing the series on behalf of the company. Ed Neumeier and Michael Miner, co-writers of the original RoboCop film, also will serve as executive producers.
