The latest action-packed game that players experienced was Far Cry 6, which starred Giancarlo Esposito in the role of the bad guy, Antón, and came out back in October 6, 2021. In the game universe, it is famous for celebrating action and mayhem with similar enthusiasm, all while weaving captivating, politically driven narratives. Little surprise that FX's new order for a Far Cry anthology series pulled in two creators whose creations have embodied all of those elements.

Show Details

Based on Ubisoft's successful video game franchise, the limited anthology series will be available on Hulu and be produced by FX Productions. The anthology will also parallel the video games' structure by having a fresh location and group of personalities in subsequent series.

Key Producers

Rob Mac, creator of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, and Noah Hawley, the talent behind FX's Alien: Earth and Fargo, will serve as showrunners on the series under their production banners, More Better Productions for Mac, and 26 Keys for Hawley. They will be partnered 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 collaborations 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 working together for Far Cry,” said Nick Grad, President, FX Entertainment, in a news release. “I have no doubt that they will present this story in a way that is fresh, compelling, and extremely entertaining. We also want to thank our partners at Ubisoft for trusting us with this popular property.”

Cast and Future Plans

Mac will also appear in the show, but as of now, we do not know what character that might entail. Hawley's Alien: Earth was recently renewed for another season, with FX and Disney signing a new overall deal with the producer.

“Getting to work together with Noah Hawley is a fantasy come true,” remarked Rob Mac. “Ubisoft has been incredibly generous, entrusting us with one of the most renowned video-game worlds ever created. And along the way, my FX team always encourages me with their steady belief and assistance.”

“The aspect I admire about the Far Cry game franchise is that it’s an anthology-style show. Every title is a take of a concept, the same way every series of Fargo is a version on a theme,” noted Hawley. “To produce a epic action show that can evolve from one instalment to the next, while always exploring the nature of humanity through this complex and unpredictable viewpoint, is a long-held aspiration. I’m excited to work with Rob and present our common irreverent, daring approach to the audience.”

A release window for when we can anticipate the new Far Cry show has not been announced. The series will premiere on Hulu in the United States and on Disney Plus globally.
