FX has greenlit a new anthology series adaptation of Ubisoft's Far Cry video game franchise, set to stream on Hulu in the U.S. and Disney+ internationally. The limited series, executive produced by Noah Hawley and Rob Mac, will feature standalone stories with new settings and casts each season, and Mac is slated to star. This marks another collaboration between FX and the acclaimed creators behind shows like Fargo and It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia.
Announcement Details
FX announced on November 25, 2025, that it has placed a series order for Far Cry, a limited anthology series inspired by Ubisoft's popular video game franchise. The project reunites FX with producers Noah Hawley, known for creating the Emmy-winning Fargo, and Rob Mac, creator of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia and executive producer of Welcome to Wrexham. Hawley recently signed a new overall deal with FX and Disney Entertainment Television, while Mac produces through his More Better Productions banner.
The series will retain Far Cry's signature format of standalone narratives, with each season exploring a new setting and cast of characters. It delves into themes of chaos and humanity through action-packed storytelling, drawing from the games' first-person shooter roots and open-world adventures. Far Cry, launched in 2004, has amassed over 100 million unique players and is celebrated for its unique stories and memorable antagonists, with the latest entry, Far Cry 6, released in 2021 featuring Giancarlo Esposito.
