Netflix Casts Toby Wallace as First Series Regular for Live-Action Assassin's Creed

The series adopts new characters within the Assassin–Templar conflict rather than retelling game protagonists’ stories.

Overview

  • Toby Wallace is confirmed as a series regular and co-lead, with character details undisclosed.
  • Roberto Patino and David Wiener are attached as creators, showrunners, and executive producers alongside Ubisoft partners.
  • Filming is being eyed for early 2026 in Italy, with reports citing Rome as a production base.
  • Netflix’s official logline frames the show as a high‑octane thriller about a secret war over humanity’s free will, spanning pivotal historical events.
  • The project stems from Netflix’s 2020 pact with Ubisoft; the 230 million‑plus‑selling franchise also has an animated series and a Netflix Games title in development.
