FX Orders 'Far Cry' TV Series from Noah Hawley & Rob McElhenney

The 'Far Cry' TV series aims to capture the essence of the video game franchise by presenting standalone stories each season. This approach allows for diverse settings and characters, mirroring the game's anthology style. The involvement of Noah Hawley, known for his work on 'Fargo' and 'Alien: Earth', and Rob McElhenney, creator of 'It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia', brings a blend of dramatic storytelling and comedic sensibility to the project.

The series also marks a reunion for McElhenney with Ubisoft, following his work on 'Mythic Quest.' The executive producers include Emilia Serrano, Nick Frenkel, Jackie Cohn, John Campisi, Gerard Guillemot, Margaret Boykin, and Austin Dill, ensuring a collaborative effort between FX Productions and Ubisoft Film & Television.

'Far Cry' will be the first live-action TV adaptation of the game series, following a direct-to-video film in 2008 and the animated series 'Captain Laserhawk: A Blood Dragon Remix' on Netflix. With the success of video game adaptations like 'The Last of Us', there is a growing audience for quality adaptations.

It is an anthology series based on the 'Far Cry' video game franchise, with a different cast and setting each season.
