Netflix’s Assassin’s Creed Series Taps Toby Wallace as First Star

Led by showrunners Roberto Patino and David Wiener, the live-action thriller plans to film in Italy in early 2026 with a focus on original characters.

Overview

  • Netflix confirmed Toby Wallace as the first series regular and co-lead in its Assassin’s Creed adaptation.
  • An official logline describes a high‑octane thriller about a secret war between factions seeking control versus those defending free will.
  • Roberto Patino and David Wiener are creators and showrunners, with Ubisoft Film & Television among the executive producers.
  • Production is being eyed to begin in early 2026 in Italy, with the specific historical era yet to be disclosed.
  • Stemming from a 2020 Netflix–Ubisoft deal, the series will introduce new characters rather than directly retell game plots and does not yet have a release date.
