The most recent action-packed title that audiences dived into was Far Cry 6, which showcased Giancarlo Esposito as the bad guy, Antón, and debuted on October 6, 2021. As a series, it is known for delighting in action and madness with the same glee, all while presenting gripping, politically driven stories. Little surprise that the network’s decision for a Far Cry anthology series pulled in two visionaries whose creations have represented all of those things.

About the Series

Based on Ubisoft's successful video game franchise, the self-contained anthology series is set to premiere on Hulu and is being made by FX Productions. The anthology will also parallel the video games' format by having a different location and group of personalities in subsequent series.

Key Producers

Rob Mac, creator of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, and Noah Hawley, the mind behind FX's Alien: Earth and Fargo, will work as showrunners on the series under their labels, 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.

“FX has had magnificent relationships with Rob Mac and Noah Hawley for a collective six series and 32 seasons of television, and we are thrilled that they are joining forces for Far Cry,” stated Nick Grad, President, FX Entertainment, in a statement. “I have no doubt that they will deliver this story in a way that is innovative, engrossing, and wildly entertaining. We also want to acknowledge our partners at Ubisoft for entrusting us with this cherished property.”

Cast and Future Plans

Mac will also star in the show, but as of now, we are unsure of what character that may be. Hawley's Alien: Earth was not long ago renewed for another season, with FX and Disney agreeing to a new long-term contract with the creator.

“Getting to work together with Noah Hawley is a fantasy come true,” said Rob Mac. “Ubisoft has been incredibly supportive, entrusting us with one of the most iconic video-game universes ever created. And throughout this process, my FX family constantly supports me with their steady trust and support.”

“What appeals to me about the Far Cry game franchise is that it’s an anthology-style show. Every title is a variation of a concept, the same way every series of Fargo is a variation on a premise,” explained Hawley. “To produce a epic action show that can evolve from season to season, while always delving into the nature of humanity through this complex and unpredictable perspective, is a ultimate goal. I’m thrilled to partner with Rob and introduce our mutual unconventional, daring style to the television.”

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