Well, the TV show isn’t done by Bioware.

Weird, given that there’s also a Mass Effect TV show in the works. Unless that got axed in the last couple months

Probably just sold the rights to another company.
If it’s anything like the Halo TV show, expect some low budget slop with a 10:1 marketing:production budget.

Oh, I can see it now. The plot is clear!
In this timeline, the Geth are actually cyborgs who look like humans. They are attacking Eden Prime at the behest of their mysterious master. Saren is the first human spectre and helps Commander Shepard escape from Eden Prime before the planet is exploded by Sovereign.
Saren and Shepard then go to New York to contact the Council, reporting a strange intelligence supporting the Geth. But then, the duo is attacked by a Geth ambush team! After managing to defeat the Geth fleet in orbit, Saren boards Sovereign and makes it say who the mastermind is, but gets brainwashed!
After this, Shepard chases Saren through a series of mass relays, eventually reaching Ilos. That is where Saren reveals the awful truth - the enemy turned out to be a Prothean VI hidden deep underground. The VI, named Vigil, commands Sovereign, and seeks to destroy the entire galaxy if not stopped! In a moment of lucidity, Saren pilots Sovereign into Ilos, destroying the planet and Vigil for good!
The final scene shows Shepard, distraught over the loss of his friend, just before the Council sends him an email that he is the new human spectre, in Saren’s honor!

I hate how plausible this is.

I can imagine shill comments about the show as well.
“Haters are whining about this show over nothing. Shepard becomes a spectre, Saren dies at the end, Sovereign goes boom. What more do you people want?”
“The retelling of Virmire is way better than the OG. It turns out that Liara only needed to mind meld with one of the workers in the facility, and compel that worker to initiate the self-destruct sequence. Like, duh. Is Game Shepard just stupid?”
“People keep complaining that the Citadel is only seen at the end. New York is actually within budget. I liked the Empire State Building scene with TIM tbh.”
“TIM is at his best in this show. His sword is so cool!”
“Reimagining the Geth as the Borg was a master-class move. Geth-Jenkins was the best! Maybe he’ll come back as Legion in the next season?”

I’m still mad about that abomination of a show.
