Overview

  • Lizzy Caplan was announced as a cast member for FX’s Far Cry on June 25, marking one of the first major talent commitments for the project.
  • Noah Hawley is creator and executive producer and has said the show will use an anthology structure that gives each season a new setting, story and cast.
  • Rob Mac (Rob McElhenney) is an executive producer and confirmed cast member, producing through his More Better banner alongside Hawley’s 26 Keys and Ubisoft Film & Television.
  • FX will premiere the series with U.S. streaming on Hulu and international streaming on Disney+, and the production has an expanded executive-producer roster while keeping plot and character details private.
  • The series adapts Ubisoft’s long-running Far Cry games, which have reached more than 100 million players, and it joins a wider industry push to turn big video-game franchises into prestige TV.
