The newest Far Cry title that audiences dived into was Far Cry 6, that starred Giancarlo Esposito in the role of the antagonist, Antón, and was released on October 6, 2021. In the game universe, it is famous for embracing violence and madness with similar glee, all while telling gripping, ideologically themed stories. No wonder then that the network’s recent announcement for a Far Cry seasonal program brought on board two producers whose work have embodied all of those elements.

About the Series

Based on Ubisoft's popular video game franchise, the limited anthology series will stream on Hulu and be produced by FX Productions. The anthology will also parallel the video games' structure by introducing a fresh setting and group of personalities in each season.

Executive Team

Rob Mac, mastermind of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, and Noah Hawley, the talent behind FX's Alien: Earth and Fargo, will act as lead producers on the series through their companies, 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 outstanding relationships 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 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 fresh, compelling, and wildly entertaining. We also want to thank our partners at Ubisoft for trusting us with this popular property.”

Cast and Future Plans

Mac will also appear in the show, but currently, we have no details on what role that could be. Hawley's Alien: Earth was just renewed for a second instalment, with FX and Disney signing a new long-term contract with the creator.

“Having the opportunity with Noah Hawley is a fantasy come true,” remarked Rob Mac. “Ubisoft has been exceptionally supportive, entrusting us with one of the most iconic video-game universes ever created. And along the way, my FX family constantly supports me with their steady belief and assistance.”

“What appeals to me about the Far Cry game series is that it’s an anthology program. Every instalment is a take of a concept, the same way every run of Fargo is a variation on a story,” said Hawley. “To produce a epic action show that can change from season to season, while always examining the nature of humanity through this multifaceted and turbulent perspective, is a ultimate goal. I’m excited to partner with Rob and present our common irreverent, daring style to the television.”

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