The newest Far Cry instalment that players dived into was Far Cry 6, that showcased Giancarlo Esposito in the role of the antagonist, Antón, and debuted during October 6, 2021. In the game universe, it is famous for embracing action and madness with similar glee, all while presenting gripping, socially charged tales. It’s no surprise that FX's recent announcement for a Far Cry anthology series brought on board two producers whose creations have exemplified all of those elements.

Show Details

Inspired by Ubisoft's popular video game property, the limited anthology series will be available on Hulu and is being made by FX Productions. The anthology will also follow the video games' structure by having a new location and group of personalities in each season.

Executive Team

Rob Mac, producer of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, and Noah Hawley, the mind behind FX's Alien: Earth and Fargo, will work as executive producers on the series via their companies, 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 excellent partnerships with Rob Mac and Noah Hawley for a collective six series and 32 seasons of television, and we are overjoyed that they are teaming up for Far Cry,” said Nick Grad, President, FX Entertainment, in a news release. “I have no doubt that they will deliver this story in a way that is innovative, engrossing, and incredibly entertaining. We also want to thank our collaborators at Ubisoft for placing confidence in us with this popular property.”

Cast and Future Plans

Mac will also appear in the show, but at the time of writing, we have no details on what role that may be. Hawley's Alien: Earth was just renewed for another season, with FX and Disney signing a new long-term contract with the producer.

“Being able to collaborate alongside Noah Hawley is a goal achieved,” remarked Rob Mac. “Ubisoft has been remarkably accommodating, trusting us with one of the most renowned video-game worlds ever created. And through it all, my FX family always encourages me with their constant confidence and support.”

“What appeals to me about the Far Cry game collection is that it’s an anthology-style show. Each game is a take of a idea, the same way every series of Fargo is a variation on a premise,” explained Hawley. “To create a large-scale action show that can change from year to year, while always delving into the nature of society through this complex and chaotic perspective, is a dream come true. I’m thrilled to partner with Rob and introduce our mutual irreverent, daring sensibility to the audience.”

A release window for when we can anticipate the new Far Cry show has not yet been revealed. The series will premiere on Hulu in the United States and on Disney Plus in other regions.
