Ubisoft and FX Bring Far Cry to Television
Ubisoft has officially joined forces with FX to produce a television adaptation of the Far Cry video game franchise. The project brings together a team led by Noah Hawley, known for his acclaimed work on Fargo and Alien, and Rob McElhenney, co-creator of It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia and Mythic Quest.
A Blend of Dark Humor and Psychological Depth
The planned series aims to capture the hallucinatory chaos and violent charm that define Far Cry, exploring the twisted psychology and moral collapse at the heart of the games. As with previous Ubisoft adaptations, such as Assassin’s Creed, the creators intend to deliver an intense narrative that appeals both to long-time fans and newcomers.
“Far Cry has always been about the blurred line between hero and villain,” said an FX representative. “With talents like Hawley and McElhenney involved, this adaptation will push that idea even further.”
Creative Freedom and Expanding Universes
Ubisoft Film & Television will co-produce the show, ensuring the adaptation remains true to the game's tone while allowing for creative evolution. The series is expected to blend high-stakes storytelling with darkly comic undertones, drawing inspiration from Far Cry 3’s philosophy about the cyclical nature of madness.
Production and Release
The project is currently in early development, with FX set to host the series on Hulu and international streaming platforms. No release date has been confirmed, but insiders suggest a premiere could come as early as late 2026, depending on production schedules and casting.
“Is this the definition of insanity?” teased an early promotional tagline, echoing the franchise’s most famous line.
Author’s summary: Ubisoft teams up with FX, Noah Hawley, and Rob McElhenney to create a darkly comedic and intense TV take on the Far Cry franchise, set to premiere in the coming years.
