Earlier this year, Ubisoft accidentally leaked the first word that a Far Cry TV series was in development with It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia star Rob Mac and Alien: Earth creator Noah Hawley. Now, it’s official. Far Cry is going forward as television show on FX and Hulu.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Far Cry will be an anthology similar to Fargo, the series that Hawley brought to FX over a decade ago. FX notes that each season of Far Cry will have a new setting and a new cast of characters. Mac–who was formerly known as Rob McElhenney–will executive produce and star in the first season of the series.
Ubisoft’s official account for Far Cry quickly shared the news as well.
