The newest action-packed game that gamers experienced was Far Cry 6, that starred Giancarlo Esposito in the role of the antagonist, Antón, and came out back in October 6, 2021. In the game universe, it has a reputation for celebrating chaos and madness with similar excitement, all while presenting gripping, socially charged stories. It’s no surprise that FX's recent announcement for a Far Cry anthology series attracted two producers whose projects have embodied all of those things.

About the Series

Adapted from Ubisoft's popular video game property, the short-run anthology series will stream on Hulu and will be created by FX Productions. The anthology will also mirror the video games' structure by introducing a different location and ensemble in every instalment.

Creative Minds

Rob Mac, creator of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, and Noah Hawley, the visionary behind FX's Alien: Earth and Fargo, will work as lead producers on the series through their labels, More Better Productions for Mac, and 26 Keys for Hawley. They will be joined 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.

We’ve shared excellent partnerships with Rob Mac and Noah Hawley for a combined six series and 32 seasons of television, and we couldn’t be more excited that they are teaming up for Far Cry,” stated Nick Grad, President, FX Entertainment, in a statement. “I have no doubt that they will present this story in a way that is original, gripping, and extremely entertaining. We also want to acknowledge our partners at Ubisoft for entrusting us with this cherished property.”

What’s Next

Mac will also star in the show, but as of now, we are unsure of what role that might entail. Hawley's Alien: Earth was recently greenlit for a second instalment, with FX and Disney signing a new overall deal with the producer.

“Getting to work alongside Noah Hawley is a dream realized,” stated Rob Mac. “Ubisoft has been incredibly accommodating, placing faith in us with one of the most renowned video-game universes ever created. And through it all, my FX team always encourages me with their steady trust and support.”

“The aspect I admire about the Far Cry game collection is that it’s an anthology program. Every title is a take of a theme, the same way every series of Fargo is a variation on a premise,” explained Hawley. “To develop a epic action show that can shift from one instalment to the next, while always delving into the nature of humanity through this multifaceted and chaotic lens, is a ultimate goal. I’m excited to work with Rob and present our mutual unconventional, daring approach to the audience.”

A release window for when we can look forward to the new Far Cry show has remains undisclosed. The series will be available on Hulu in the United States and on Disney Plus globally.
