FX has greenlit a new series based on Ubisoft’s popular “Far Cry” video games, with Noah Hawley and Rob Mac at the helm. According to Variety, the series will follow an anthology format, similar to the games, with each season featuring a different cast and setting.
Rob Mac, who will also star in the series, expressed his excitement about working with Noah Hawley and Ubisoft, calling it a dream come true. The series will stream on Hulu in the U.S. and Disney+ internationally, promising to bring an iconic video game world to life on screen.
The collaboration between Mac and Hawley with FX deepens with this project, as Mac is known for creating and starring in the long-running comedy series “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia.” On the other hand, Hawley has created acclaimed series like “Fargo” and “Alien: Earth.”
Hawley shared his enthusiasm for adapting the “Far Cry” games into a TV series, highlighting the anthology nature of the games as a key inspiration for the show’s format. The series will explore the complexities of humanity through action-packed storytelling, promising a fresh take each season.
The executive producers for the series include Mac under his More Better Productions banner and Hawley under his deal with FX and Disney Entertainment Television. The cast and crew are excited to bring this beloved property to life on screen, with support from Ubisoft Film & Television.
This adaptation marks the first live-action “Far Cry” series for TV, following a 2008 film and a recent animated series. The games have been a massive success since the release of the first title in 2004, with millions of players enjoying the immersive worlds created by Ubisoft.
Fans can look forward to a unique and gripping adaptation of the “Far Cry” games, with Mac and Hawley’s creative vision set to bring the iconic video game world to life in a new and exciting way.
