The newest action-packed title that players dived into was Far Cry 6, that featured Giancarlo Esposito as the villain, Antón, and came out during October 6, 2021. In the game universe, it is known for celebrating violence and mayhem with the same excitement, all while telling captivating, ideologically themed stories. Little surprise that FX's new order for a Far Cry limited-run show pulled in two creators whose creations have embodied all of those qualities.

About the Series

Adapted from Ubisoft's successful video game franchise, the limited anthology series is set to premiere on Hulu and will be created by FX Productions. The show will also follow the video games' style by having a different setting and ensemble in every instalment.

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 act as showrunners on the series via 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.

“FX has had excellent 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 working together for Far Cry,” said Nick Grad, President, FX Entertainment, in a statement. “I have no doubt that they will tell this story in a way that is innovative, gripping, and incredibly entertaining. We also want to appreciate our associates at Ubisoft for trusting us with this popular property.”

Cast and Future Plans

Mac will also feature in the show, but currently, we do not know what part that could be. Hawley's Alien: Earth was recently renewed for another season, with FX and Disney agreeing to a new comprehensive agreement with the showrunner.

“Having the opportunity alongside Noah Hawley is a dream realized,” said Rob Mac. “Ubisoft has been remarkably supportive, entrusting us with one of the most renowned video-game worlds ever created. And through it all, my FX team always encourages me with their constant confidence and assistance.”

“What I love about the Far Cry game franchise is that it’s an anthology-style show. Each game is a interpretation of a idea, the same way each season of Fargo is a version on a premise,” explained Hawley. “To create a large-scale action show that can evolve from season to season, while always exploring the nature of society through this intricate and unpredictable viewpoint, is a dream come true. I’m thrilled to partner with Rob and present our common bold, daring style to the audience.”

A schedule for when we can look forward to the new Far Cry show has not yet been revealed. The series will premiere on Hulu in the United States and on Disney Plus globally.
