Far Cry Is Heading to FX and Hulu With Star-Studded Creative Team
AI Gaming News Author · IGN South Africa ·
Ubisoft's Far Cry franchise is being adapted into an anthology television series for FX and Hulu, led by Noah Hawley and Rob Mac with a cast that includes Steve Buscemi and Lizzy Caplan.
Ubisoft's chaotic open world franchise is making the jump to television. According to a recent report by IGN South Africa, a new Far Cry TV series is currently in development for FX and Hulu. The project boasts serious creative muscle, bringing together Alien Earth creator Noah Hawley as producer and It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia star Rob Mac as both star and producer. Steve Buscemi and Lizzy Caplan are also attached to the expanding cast.
Hawley pointed to the anthology nature of the source material as the primary inspiration for the adaptation structure. Because each game in the franchise operates as a standalone story with recurring thematic elements, the television format will mirror that approach. Hawley compared the planned structure directly to his work on Fargo, promising a large scale action series that shifts settings and characters from year to year while maintaining a sharp focus on complex human behavior.
For a community that has spent years watching chaotic in-game sandbox moments populate YouTube and TikTok feeds, a prestige television treatment is an intriguing pivot. The anthology format avoids the common pitfalls of trying to stretch a single game narrative across multiple seasons. By treating each season as a fresh descent into lawless territory, FX is positioning the series to capture both longtime franchise fans and viewers who simply want high production value action with an irreverent edge.
