Netflix Officially Greenlights ‘Assassin’s Creed’ TV Series

Nearly five years in the making, Netflix’s live-action Assassin’s Creed series has finally been given the green light. The creators, showrunners, and executive producers of the series are Roberto Patino, known for Westworld and Sons of Anarchy, and David Wiener, who has worked on projects like Halo and The Killing.

The Assassin’s Creed gaming franchise, originating from Ubisoft in 2007, has become a massive success, selling over 230 million copies globally. Transitioning from consoles to the big screen in 2016 with a movie adaptation from Twentieth Century Fox, the film grossed $240 million worldwide.

The series is described as a high-octane thriller centered on a secret war between two factions—one aiming to control and manipulate mankind’s future, while the other fights for free will. Characters will navigate pivotal historical events, shaping humanity’s destiny along the way.

Joining the ranks of other successful gaming adaptations on Netflix like Castlevania and Arcane, Assassin’s Creed promises a thrilling experience for fans. Creators Wiener and Patino express their enthusiasm, stating, “Every day we work on this show, we come away excited and humbled by the possibilities that Assassin’s Creed opens to us.”

With a rich backstory and a dedicated following, the Assassin’s Creed TV series is poised to be a must-watch for fans of the gaming franchise and newcomers alike. Stay tuned for more updates on this highly anticipated project.
