FX Orders Live-Action Far Cry Anthology From Noah Hawley and Rob Mac, With Mac Set to Star

The series adopts a season-by-season reboot format and will stream on Hulu in the U.S. and Disney+ internationally, with plot and premiere plans still undisclosed.

Overview

  • FX confirmed the Far Cry adaptation as a live-action anthology, with each season featuring a new setting and cast.
  • Rob Mac and Noah Hawley co-create and executive produce, with Mac starring in Season 1 under his More Better banner and Hawley producing via 26 Keys under his overall FX/Disney deal.
  • Additional executive producers include Emilia Serrano (26 Keys), Nick Frenkel (3 Arts), Jackie Cohn (More Better), John Campisi, and Ubisoft Film & Television’s Gerard Guillemot, Margaret Boykin and Austin Dill; FX Productions will produce.
  • Hawley framed the approach as a variation-on-a-theme anthology in the spirit of Fargo, aiming for a large-scale action series exploring human nature from season to season.
  • Ubisoft promoted the announcement through official channels; this marks the franchise’s first live-action TV series, following a 2008 film and the 2023 animated Captain Laserhawk.
