The Streaming Platform is Producing a Popular Game TV Series from the Producers of Alien: Earth and the Comedy Hit.

The most recent action-packed title that players explored was Far Cry 6, which showcased Giancarlo Esposito in the role of the antagonist, Antón, and debuted on October 6, 2021. As a series, it is famous for delighting in chaos and mayhem with similar excitement, all while telling gripping, politically driven stories. It’s no surprise that the network’s recent announcement for a Far Cry seasonal program attracted two visionaries whose work have embodied all of those things.

Show Details

Inspired by Ubisoft's successful video game franchise, the limited anthology series will stream on Hulu and is being made by FX Productions. The anthology will also follow the video games' format by introducing a fresh location and group of personalities in each season.

Creative Minds

Rob Mac, mastermind of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, and Noah Hawley, the talent behind FX's Alien: Earth and Fargo, will work as showrunners on the series under their labels, More Better Productions for Mac, and 26 Keys for Hawley. They will be accompanied by Emilia Serrano for 26 Keys, Nick Frenkel for 3 Arts, Jackie Cohn for More Better Productions, John Campisi, Gerard Guillemot, Margaret Boykin, and Austin Dill for Ubisoft Film & Television.

The network enjoyed excellent partnerships with Rob Mac and Noah Hawley for a collective six series and 32 seasons of television, and we couldn’t be more excited that they are teaming up for Far Cry,” commented Nick Grad, President, FX Entertainment, in a statement. “I have no doubt that they will present this story in a way that is innovative, compelling, and incredibly entertaining. We also want to appreciate our partners at Ubisoft for trusting us with this beloved property.”

What’s Next

Mac will also appear in the show, but currently, we have no details on what part that could be. Hawley's Alien: Earth was not long ago greenlit for a second instalment, with FX and Disney agreeing to a new long-term contract with the showrunner.

“Getting to work together with Noah Hawley is a dream realized,” stated Rob Mac. “Ubisoft has been remarkably accommodating, trusting us with one of the most renowned video-game realms ever created. And throughout this process, my FX team always encourages me with their steady confidence and support.”

“What appeals to me about the Far Cry game franchise is that it’s an anthology-style show. Every title is a interpretation of a idea, the same way each season of Fargo is a variation on a theme,” said Hawley. “To create a epic action show that can shift from one instalment to the next, while always examining the essence of people through this multifaceted and chaotic lens, is a dream come true. I’m excited to partner with Rob and present our mutual unconventional, visionary sensibility to the television.”

A release window for when we can expect the new Far Cry show has not yet been revealed. The series will stream on Hulu in the United States and on Disney Plus in other regions.
