Summary
- Steve Buscemi joins FX and Hulu's Far Cry series adaptation.
- He reunites with Noah Hawley, creator of the Fargo series.
- The series, like the game, will be an anthology with new stories each season.
Steve Buscemi has joined the cast of FX and Hulu's upcoming series adaptation of the Far Cry video game franchise. This exciting casting news places the Emmy winner alongside Rob McElhenney and Lizzy Caplan in the project.
Notably, Buscemi's involvement marks a reunion with executive producer Noah Hawley, who developed the acclaimed FX series Fargo, which itself was inspired by the Coen brothers' film of the same name. Buscemi had a memorable role in the 1996 Fargo movie.
The Far Cry series is designed as an anthology, intended to feature a new story and cast for each season, mirroring the structure of the video game franchise. FX has not yet disclosed whether the series will adapt a specific game iteration or use the game's world as a broader inspiration.
Buscemi’s recent television credits include a key role as principal of Nevermore Academy in Netflix's Wednesday and appearances in TBS's Miracle Workers. He previously earned two Emmy nominations for his portrayal of Nucky Thompson in HBO's Boardwalk Empire and won an Emmy in 2016 for his short-form show Park Bench With Steve Buscemi.
