After years of anticipation, it\u2019s finally happening \u2014 Ubisoft confirmed today that Netflix has officially kicked off production on a live-action Assassin\u2019s Creed series, aiming to bring the franchise\u2019s signature blend of historical intrigue, parkour, and secret wars to a global audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
From Announcement to Action
Ubisoft first revealed its partnership with Netflix back in 2020, signing a deal to develop multiple film and TV projects based on the Assassin\u2019s Creed universe. This series marks the first production born out of that agreement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The adaptation will be helmed by Roberto Patino (DMZ, Westworld, Sons of Anarchy) and David Wiener (Halo, Homecoming, The Killing), who will serve as creators, writers, and executive producers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A New Story, Same Assassins vs. Templars Conflict
Ubisoft describes the show as a high-stakes, adrenaline-fueled thriller centered on the eternal war between two shadowy factions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Templars, who seek to impose control to shape humanity\u2019s future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Assassins, who fight to preserve free will.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Like the games, the narrative will weave through multiple pivotal moments in history, following characters whose choices could alter the destiny of humanity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Capturing the Heart of the Franchise
Margaret Boykin, Executive Producer at Ubisoft Film & Television, expressed excitement about collaborating with Patino, Wiener, and Netflix:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe want to create a show that not only captures the heart of Assassin\u2019s Creed but also introduces its rich world and timeless themes to new audiences around the globe.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In a joint statement, Patino and Wiener \u2014 both self-proclaimed fans since the original Assassin\u2019s Creed launched in 2007 \u2014 said they were \u201cthrilled and humbled\u201d by the massive potential of the project:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cBeyond the grand set pieces, parkour, and heart-pounding tension, Assassin\u2019s Creed at its core is about the human condition \u2014 the search for self, the struggle between fate and faith. This is a story about power, violence, desire, greed, and revenge \u2014 but most importantly, it\u2019s about the connections that bind humanity across cultures and centuries, and the loss we suffer when those bonds are broken.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Netflix has yet to announce a release window for the Assassin\u2019s Creed series, and no casting details have been revealed \u2014 but with this creative team and Ubisoft\u2019s direct involvement, the long-awaited leap of faith into live-action has finally begun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
