The Streaming Platform is Developing a Popular Game TV Show from the Minds of the Alien Series and It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia.

The most recent action-packed title that gamers explored was Far Cry 6, which showcased Giancarlo Esposito in the role of the villain, Antón, and debuted during October 6, 2021. In the game universe, it has a reputation for embracing action and mayhem with similar excitement, all while telling captivating, ideologically themed stories. No wonder then that FX's recent announcement for a Far Cry limited-run show brought on board two producers whose projects have represented all of those qualities.

What to Expect

Adapted from Ubisoft's successful video game property, the self-contained anthology series is set to premiere on Hulu and will be created by FX Productions. The series will also mirror the video games' style by introducing a new setting and group of personalities in each season.

Key Producers

Rob Mac, producer of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, and Noah Hawley, the visionary behind FX's Alien: Earth and Fargo, will serve as executive producers on the series under their companies, 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.

The network enjoyed outstanding partnerships with Rob Mac and Noah Hawley for a total six series and 32 seasons of television, and we couldn’t be more excited that they are working together 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 innovative, engrossing, and incredibly entertaining. We also want to acknowledge our collaborators at Ubisoft for trusting us with this beloved property.”

Upcoming Developments

Mac will also appear in the show, but as of now, we do not know what part that could be. Hawley's Alien: Earth was just greenlit for more episodes, with FX and Disney agreeing to a new long-term contract with the showrunner.

“Getting to work alongside Noah Hawley is a goal achieved,” said Rob Mac. “Ubisoft has been remarkably supportive, trusting us with one of the most renowned video-game realms ever created. And throughout this process, my FX partners constantly supports me with their ongoing belief and support.”

“What I love about the Far Cry game series is that it’s an anthology program. Each game is a take of a theme, the same way each season of Fargo is a variation on a premise,” explained Hawley. “To create a epic action show that can change from season to season, while always exploring the nature of people through this intricate and chaotic perspective, is a long-held aspiration. I’m excited to partner with Rob and present our mutual unconventional, visionary style to the audience.”

A schedule for when we can look forward to the new Far Cry show has not been announced. The series will be available on Hulu in the United States and on Disney Plus internationally.
