Far Cry TV Series Ordered By FX

FX has placed a series order for an anthology TV show based on Ubisoft's Far Cry series. Just like the games that inspired it, each season of the limited series will feature a new setting and cast of characters. FX's Far Cry will stream on Hulu in the US and Disney+ internationally.

The project comes from established FX producers Rob Mac, Creator of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia and Executive Producer of the Emmy-winning Welcome to Wrexham, who is producing through his production banner More Better Productions, and Noah Hawley - producing through his 26 Keys production banner - creator of FX's Emmy-winning anthology series Fargo and Alien: Earth. Mac is also set to star in the series.

"FX has had magnificent 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," said Nick Grad, President, FX Entertainment. "I have no doubt that they will tell this story in a way that is original, gripping and wildly entertaining. We also want to thank our partners at Ubisoft for entrusting us with this beloved property."

"Getting to work alongside Noah Hawley is a dream realized," said Mac. "Ubisoft has been remarkably generous, entrusting us with one of the most iconic video-game worlds ever created. And through it all, my FX family continues to lift me up with their constant belief and support."

"What I love about the Far Cry game franchise is it's an anthology. Each game is a variation of a theme, the same way each season of Fargo is a variation on a theme," said Hawley. "To create a big action show that can change from year to year, while always exploring the nature of humanity through this complex and chaotic lens is a dream come true. I'm excited to partner with Rob and bring our shared irreverent, ambitious sensibility to the screen."

FX's Far Cry will be executive produced by Rob Mac, Noah Hawley, Emilia Serrano for 26 Keys, Nick Frenkel for 3 Arts, Jackie Cohn for More Better Productions, John Campisi, and Gerard Guillemot, Margaret Boykin and Austin Dill for Ubisoft Film & Television. The series will be produced by FX Productions.
