The latest action-packed game that audiences dived into was Far Cry 6, that featured Giancarlo Esposito as the villain, Antón, and was released on October 6, 2021. In the game universe, it is famous for celebrating chaos and mayhem with similar enthusiasm, all while weaving gripping, ideologically themed tales. No wonder then that the network’s recent announcement for a Far Cry seasonal program attracted two producers whose work have exemplified all of those qualities.

Show Details

Adapted from Ubisoft's successful video game series, the short-run anthology series will be available on Hulu and is being made by FX Productions. The series will also mirror the video games' style by having a new backdrop and ensemble in subsequent series.

Key Producers

Rob Mac, producer of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, and Noah Hawley, the mind behind FX's Alien: Earth and Fargo, will serve as showrunners on the series through their production banners, 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.

We’ve shared outstanding partnerships with Rob Mac and Noah Hawley for a collective six series and 32 seasons of television, and we are overjoyed that they are joining forces for Far Cry,” stated Nick Grad, President, FX Entertainment, in a announcement. “I have no doubt that they will tell this story in a way that is original, gripping, and incredibly entertaining. We also want to appreciate our partners at Ubisoft for entrusting us with this cherished property.”

Upcoming Developments

Mac will also appear in the show, but at the time of writing, we are unsure of what part that may be. Hawley's Alien: Earth was not long ago approved for another season, with FX and Disney agreeing to a new overall deal with the producer.

“Having the opportunity alongside Noah Hawley is a fantasy come true,” remarked Rob Mac. “Ubisoft has been exceptionally generous, placing faith in us with one of the most renowned video-game universes ever created. And through it all, my FX team constantly supports me with their steady trust and backing.”

“The aspect I admire about the Far Cry game series is that it’s an standalone program. Each game is a take of a theme, the same way each season of Fargo is a variation on a story,” noted Hawley. “To create a epic action show that can change from year to year, while always examining the core of humanity through this multifaceted and unpredictable viewpoint, is a dream come true. I’m thrilled to collaborate with Rob and introduce our common bold, daring approach to the television.”

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