Far Cry to be Adapted as Live‑Action TV Series by FX with Disney+

Ubisoft has confirmed that its Far Cry video game franchise will be adapted into a television series, with FX developing the project and Disney+ set to handle international streaming distribution.

Noah Hawley will serve as creator and showrunner. Hawley, a veteran showrunner who recently saw his series Alien: Planeta Tierra renewed, will lead the project and collaborate with Rob McElhenney, who is also attached as a writer and will star in the first season.

The collaboration follows months of discreet meetings between Ubisoft and Disney and various industry leaks; the companies have now given official confirmation. The partnership is being framed as a long-term agreement with the potential for multiple seasons, reflecting Far Cry’s anthology structure—each game presents a distinct, self-contained setting and story.

Far Cry has previously been adapted for the screen: a low-budget 2008 film directed by Uwe Boll and starring Til Schweiger, and the 2023 Netflix animated series Captain Laserhawk: A Blood Dragon Remix, which took a different, stylized approach. FX and Disney+ intend to return the franchise to live-action television under Hawley’s creative direction.

Given the early stage of development, an earliest likely premiere date would be 2027 or later. Details about casting beyond McElhenney, episode count, and creative direction remain limited and are expected to emerge as the project advances.
