FX has officially ordered a television adaptation of Ubisoft’s Far Cry, positioning it as an anthology series where each season introduces a new setting and cast. The show, titled FX’s Far Cry, will stream on Hulu in the United States and on Disney+ internationally. The project pairs long-time FX collaborators Rob Mac and Noah Hawley, with Mac also set to star. The series will be produced by FX Productions.

What FX is making

FX’s Far Cry adapts Ubisoft’s long-running game series into a TV format that mirrors the franchise’s structure – self-contained stories united by recurring themes. There are no plot or premiere date details yet, but FX confirms the show will take the seasonal anthology route, aligning with how the games reset their worlds from entry to entry.

What the creators say

“FX has had magnificent partnerships 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. “I have no doubt that they will tell this story in a way that is original, gripping and wildly entertaining. We also want to thank our partners at Ubisoft for entrusting us with this beloved property.”

“Getting to work alongside Noah Hawley is a dream realized,” said Mac. “Ubisoft has been remarkably generous, entrusting us with one of the most iconic video-game worlds ever created. And through it all, my FX family continues to lift me up with their constant belief and support.”

“What I love about the Far Cry game franchise is it's an anthology. Each game is a variation of a theme, the same way each season of Fargo is a variation on a theme,” said Hawley. “To create a big action show that can change from year to year, while always exploring the nature of humanity through this complex and chaotic lens is a dream come true. I'm excited to partner with Rob and bring our shared irreverent, ambitious sensibility to the screen.”
