- Ubisoft announced a Far Cry TV Show at FX, as reported in an article that is now down.
- The show is an anthology drama co-created by Rob Mac and Noah Hawley.
- Far Cry TV Show will last multiple seasons, featuring an original story and cast.
Update: Ubisoft has officially announced that a Far Cry anthology series is indeed in the works by FX and will debut on Hulu and Disney+, featuring a brand-new setting and cast, confirming these details below.
The original story follows…
Following in the steps of other publishers, Ubisoft is also exploring entertainment mediums outside of gaming. Just recently, a live-action Assassin’s Creed series was greenlit at Netflix.
Now, it seems another franchise is getting the same treatment. A Far Cry TV show is officially underway at FX, revealed via a Ubisoft article, which was taken down just moments later.
Why it matters: With cinema adaptations of video games becoming increasingly popular in the industry, it was only a matter of time before Ubisoft followed suit. That said, Far Cry is an interesting candidate for this treatment.
The article still appears in search results despite being inaccessible. According to the brief description from the preview, the TV adaptation will be an anthology drama.
Fortunately, some readers were able to extract the information from the article in the short moments it was up.
Far Cry Series Adaptation In the Works at FX

The show is co-created by Rob Mac, known best for Mythic Quest, and Noah Hawley, the writer for Alien: Earth. Noah Hawley will serve as the showrunner, while Rob Mac is set to take the acting role.
Margaret Boykin, head of film & TV at Ubisoft, said:
Far Cry a psychological tailspin that doesn’t shy away from the darkest and most absurd parts of humanity, which aligns perfectly with FX’s bold and fearless storytelling style
The anthology will not be adapting any of the stories from the Far Cry games, but instead will adapt an original story filled with a brand-new cast, location, etc. The show will be renewed for multiple seasons, following the games’ format to present a new story with each iteration.
This move raises a few questions, as the franchise lacks a unique trait beyond its survival themes. It is unclear how the showrunners will translate the Far Cry essence into the show with a new cast and story without making it seem like a typical action-survival show.
