Netflix Green-Lights ‘Assassin’s Creed’ TV Series Adaptation

The original partnership between Netflix and Ubisoft began five years ago. We’ll soon be able to see the fruits of the union, with the upcoming adaptation.

You can now add Assassin’s Creed to the Netflix game-to-show adaptation portfolio. The streamer has green-lit a new TV series based on the game franchise from Ubisoft. Netflix was sparse on details regarding the story itself but said the live-action adaptation, five years in the making, will include the «rich storytelling» that players of the games would expect.

Assassin’s Creed is a historical action-adventure game that spans multiple time periods and has players assuming the role of multiple characters across the franchise. The first title was released in 2007 and has spawned multiple sequels. More than 230 million units of Assassin’s Creed have been sold. The games typically consist of a modern-day character using specialized software to relive the memories of historical figures to alter history for the better.

The upcoming streaming series’ logline gives a glimpse of what to expect when the series arrives: «Assassin’s Creed is a high-octane thriller centered on the secret war between two shadowy factions — one set on determining mankind’s future through control and manipulation, while the other fights to preserve free will.»

Peter Friedlander, Netflix vice president of Scripted Series, says the adaptation, «honors the legacy of the Assassin’s Creed franchise and invites longtime fans and newcomers alike to experience the thrill of the Brotherhood as never before.»

Netflix has a number of game-to-streaming adaptations under its belt, and more on the way, including the much-loved and long-awaited BioShock film that’s been in development for the past three years. Assassin’s Creed seems like a solid addition to the lineup and like something that’ll get a lot of people excited. Other adaptations include Castlevania, Resident Evil, Arcane and many more.

Netflix tapped Robert Patino (Westworld, Sons of Anarchy) and David Wiener (Halo, Brave New World) to be the creators of the adaptation. Both also serve as showrunners and executive producers. Additional producers include Gerard Guillemot, Margaret Boykin, Austin Dill for Ubisoft Film & Television, and Matt O’Toole.

No release date has been set.
