FX Orders “Far Cry” Series from Noah Hawley & Rob McElhenney

Los Angeles, CA – FX has officially ordered “Far Cry,” a limited anthology series based on Ubisoft’s blockbuster video game franchise of the same name. The project hails from acclaimed showrunner Noah Hawley (Fargo, Alien: Earth) and Rob McElhenney, creator and star of “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia” and executive producer of “Welcome to Wrexham.” McElhenney will also star in the series.

The “Far Cry” series will adopt an anthology format, with each season presenting a new, standalone story featuring a different setting and cast of characters, mirroring the structure of the video game franchise. Each season will retain Far Cry‘s signature standalone storytelling format.

“What I love about the ‘Far Cry’ game franchise is it’s an anthology. Each game is a variation of a theme, the same way each season of Fargo is a variation on a theme,” said Hawley.

The series will stream on Hulu in the U.S. and Disney+ internationally.

“FX has had magnificent partnerships with Rob Mac and Noah Hawley for a combined six series and 32 seasons of television, and we couldn’t be more excited that they are teaming up for ‘Far Cry’,” said Nick Grad, President, FX Entertainment. “I have no doubt that they will tell this story in a way that is original, gripping and wildly entertaining.”

McElhenney added, “Getting to work alongside Noah Hawley is a dream realized. Ubisoft has been remarkably generous, entrusting us with one of the most iconic video-game worlds ever created. And through it all, my FX family continues to lift me up with their constant belief and support.”

“Far Cry” has sold over 100 million copies since its inception in 2004, known for its first-person shooter action, open-world environments, and memorable villains.

Hawley’s Alien: Earth was recently renewed for a second season.

“Far Cry” is executive produced by McElhenney through his More Better Productions, Hawley through 26 Keys, Emilia Serrano (26 Keys), Nick Frenkel (3 Arts), Jackie Cohn (More Better Productions), John Campisi, Gerard Guillemot, Margaret Boykin and Austin Dill for Ubisoft Film & Television.
