Assassin’s Creed Live Action TV Series Announced
Netflix have joined forces with Ubisoft to develop an Assassin’s Creed live-action TV series from the hit franchise it was announced today.
The series is part of a deal between Netflix and Ubisoft to create content based around the best-selling game franchise. This deal will include the aforementioned live-action series, as well as animated and anime shows. No further information is available regarding a showrunner at present, though Jason Altman and Danielle Kreinik (both of Ubisoft Film & Television) will serve as Executive Producers.
“For more than 10 years, millions of fans around the world have helped shape the ‘Assassin’s Creed’ brand into an iconic franchise,” said Altman, head of Ubisoft Film & Television – Los Angeles. “We’re thrilled to create an ‘Assassin’s Creed’ series with Netflix and we look forward to developing the next saga in the ‘Assassin’s Creed’ universe.”
This is not the first time that there has been a live action Assassin’s Creed. There was a film adaptation in 2016 which starred Michael Fassbender as assassin Aguilar and modern day descendent Cal alongside Marion Cotillard, Jeremy Irons and Brendan Gleeson.
The announcement from Netflix was short and to the point
