Assassins Creed LiveAction TV Show In the Works At Netflix

Netflix is developing multiple TV series based on Ubisoft’s massively successful Assassin’s Creed video game franchise, the first of which will be a large-scale live-action show. The game series, which follows a secret guild of assassins through ancient human history, was previously adapted for the screen in 2016’s Assassin’s Creed, which starred Michael Fassbender and received poor reviews. The latest game, Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, releases on November 10th.

Assassin’s Creed won’t be Netflix’s first foray into the realm of video game adaptations. Castlevania – an original anime based on the game series of the same name – has released multiple seasons on the streaming platform to widespread fan and critical acclaim. The Witcher, while originally a series of books by Andrzej Sapkowski, became immensely popular in America largely because of the hit video game adaptations by CD Projekt Red. Netflix is currently developing another show based on CD Projekt’s upcoming game Cyberpunk 2077, as well as an adaptation of Capcom’s popular Resident Evil series.

Now, Netflix is adding Assassin’s Creed to its long list of gaming properties. Per Deadline, the company is intending to develop a “TV universe” of Assassin’s Creed content, which will encompass multiple animated and live-action shows. The first show, an “epic, genre-bending live-action adaptation,” will be executive produced by Ubisoft’s own Head of Film and Television, Jason Altman, and Director of Television Development, Danielle Kreinik. Altman said that the company is “thrilled to create an Assassin’s Creed series with Netflix and we look forward to developing the next saga in the Assassin’s Creed universe.” Peter Friedlander, VP of Original Series at Netflix, echoed this sentiment.

“We’re excited to partner with Ubisoft and bring to life the rich, multilayered storytelling that Assassin’s Creed is beloved for…From its breathtaking historical worlds and massive global appeal as one of the best selling video game franchises of all time, we are committed to carefully crafting epic and thrilling entertainment based on this distinct IP and provide a deeper dive for fans and our members around the world to enjoy.”

After the negative reception to the 2016 film, not to mention recent history’s long trail of failed video game adaptations, fans may be skeptical that Netflix’s version will go much better. Very few big-budget video game movies have been positively received upon release, leading every new adaptation to be heavily scrutinized. Just recently, pictures and trailers for Uncharted and Monster Hunter have been picked apart by fans who are skeptical of the films’ authenticity.

But out of every studio that’s taken a crack at adapting games, Netflix has perhaps the strongest record of late. Castlevania isn’t just inoffensive – it’s been universally lauded like no video game show or movie has been before. The Witcher, while not as pure of a video game adaptation given the story’s origin in Sapkowski’s books, has also been a huge hit. That doesn’t necessarily mean Assassin’s Creed will be a success as well, but it bodes well. Plus, the games’ structure of jumping between different time periods for each installment could be perfect for Netflix’s plan to create multiple series. For now, fans will have to wait and see.
