Noah Hawley’s Far Cry TV Series Will Be an Anthology, Not a Game Adaptation

He says an anthology frees the show from game mechanics that do not translate to strong drama.

Overview

  • Noah Hawley said in a Monday Deadline interview that the Far Cry show will tell new stories each season instead of adapting a specific game.
  • He is writing the scripts and, per Deadline, is expected to direct the first two episodes after cracking the story.
  • He outlined plans to run production from London’s Pinewood Studios with a second location that also supports his Alien: Earth series.
  • Hawley is stepping back from directing Alien: Earth season 2 to put more focus on Far Cry.
  • The series is still early in development with no release date, and Far Cry 4 creative director Alex Hutchinson criticized Hawley’s comments on LinkedIn.
