"Assassin's Creed" Live-Action Series in Works
Yara Sameh
The long-gestating 'Assassin's Creed' live-action series adaptation is moving forward at Netflix.
The news comes nearly five years after it was first reported that the streaming giant was developing a series version of the global hit video game franchise under a deal with game publisher Ubisoft.
The project has gone through multiple creative teams in that time, with Roberto Patino and David Wiener now set as creators, showrunners, and executive producers.
In addition to Wiener and Patino, Gerard Guillemot, Margaret Boykin and Austin Dill of Ubisoft Film & Television serve as executive producers, as does Matt O'Toole.
The first 'Assassin's Creed' game debuted in 2007 and became an instant hit, with over 230 million copies of the various titles in the franchise having been sold to date.
There have been 14 installments in the main franchise so far, with the most recent being 'Assassin's Creed: Shadows,' released in 2025. A film adaptation starring Michael Fassbender was released in 2016.
The official logline for the show states that it is 'centered on the secret war between two shadowy factions — one set on determining mankind's future through control and manipulation, while the other fights to preserve free will. The series follows its characters across pivotal historical events as they battle to shape humanity's destiny.'
The 'Assassin's Creed' games explore the war between the rival secret orders of the Assassins and the Templars as they use advanced machines to access the genetic memories of Assassins in different periods of the past to track down powerful artifacts called Pieces of Eden.
This will be the first live-action series produced under the Netflix-Ubisoft deal. Previously, the two companies partnered on the animated show 'Rabbids Invasion' as well as 'Captain Laserhawk: A Blood Dragon Remix.'
The animated series 'Splinter Cell: Deathwatch' is slated to debut later this year.
