The latest action-packed title that players experienced was Far Cry 6, which starred Giancarlo Esposito as the villain, Antón, and was released on October 6, 2021. As a series, it is famous for celebrating violence and madness with equal excitement, all while presenting gripping, ideologically themed tales. It’s no surprise that the network’s recent announcement for a Far Cry limited-run show attracted two visionaries whose projects have exemplified all of those things.

Show Details

Adapted from Ubisoft's successful video game series, the self-contained anthology series is set to premiere on Hulu and is being made by FX Productions. The series will also follow the video games' style by having a different location and ensemble in subsequent series.

Creative Minds

Rob Mac, mastermind 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 under their labels, More Better Productions for Mac, and 26 Keys for Hawley. They will be joined 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 magnificent collaborations with Rob Mac and Noah Hawley for a combined 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 announcement. “I have no doubt that they will tell this story in a way that is original, gripping, and extremely entertaining. We also want to thank our partners at Ubisoft for placing confidence in us with this popular property.”

Upcoming Developments

Mac will also appear in the show, but at the time of writing, we do not know what part that could be. Hawley's Alien: Earth was just greenlit for more episodes, with FX and Disney signing a new long-term contract with the creator.

“Being able to collaborate alongside Noah Hawley is a goal achieved,” said Rob Mac. “Ubisoft has been incredibly generous, placing faith in us with one of the most renowned video-game realms ever created. And throughout this process, my FX team continues to lift me up with their steady confidence and backing.”

“What appeals to me about the Far Cry game series is that it’s an anthology-style show. Every title is a interpretation of a concept, the same way each season of Fargo is a adaptation on a story,” said Hawley. “To produce a large-scale action show that can shift from season to season, while always delving into the nature of society through this intricate and chaotic lens, is a long-held aspiration. I’m eager to partner with Rob and bring our mutual irreverent, visionary approach to the television.”

A schedule 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 in other regions.
