Prime Video Is Developing a Live-Action Jem And The Holograms With Kilter Films

The deal signals Prime’s push to expand its female-led YA slate by tapping Kilter Films’ prestige TV experience for a modern take on a Hasbro franchise.

Overview

  • Multiple outlets reported that Amazon MGM Studios/Prime Video confirmed development of a live-action Jem And The Holograms on Monday, June 8, 2026.
  • Kilter Films founders Lisa Joy and Jonathan Nolan are attached as executive producers alongside Athena Wickham for Kilter and Gabriel Marano for Hasbro Entertainment.
  • Public descriptions say the reimagining will be an “elevated live-action” project and some reports label it an “elevated technothriller,” indicating a tonal shift from the original music-video format.
  • No showrunner, director, cast, episode count, or release window has been announced yet, so core creative and production details remain unconfirmed.
  • The series joins Prime’s female-driven YA lineup and continues Hasbro’s strategy of turning toys and cartoons into TV properties, but the 2015 Jem film’s commercial and critical failure highlights the adaptation risks and likely fan scrutiny ahead.
