Hulu and FX are developing a Far Cry television anthology series produced by Noah Hawley and Rob McElhenney, with each season featuring a new setting and cast of characters.
Ubisoft's chaotic open world franchise is officially making the jump to television. According to a report by Polygon, Hulu and FX Productions have ordered a Far Cry anthology series helmed by an unexpected powerhouse creative duo. Noah Hawley, the mind behind Fargo and Alien: Earth, and Rob McElhenney, creator and star of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, are teaming up as executive producers to bring the hit video game series to the screen.
True to the identity of the games, the television adaptation will follow an anthology format. This means each new season will feature a completely distinct setting, plot, and cast of characters, mirroring how players hop from the tropical insanity of the Rook Islands to the Montana cult compound of Hope County. McElhenney is also attached to star in the project, though details on his specific role are currently under wraps. Production is being handled through their respective banners, 26 Keys and More Better Productions, alongside Ubisoft Film and Television.
For players who have spent years navigating the series' signature brand of charismatic villains and systemic chaos, this creative pairing makes a lot of sense. Hawley has already proven his mastery of shifting thematic crime stories with Fargo, while McElhenney knows how to lean into unhinged comedy and high-stakes absurdity. While a release window has not yet been announced, the series will stream on Hulu in the United States and on Disney Plus internationally once it arrives.
