A new live-action series based on Ubisoft's blockbuster Assassin's Creed franchise is in development at Netflix.

While the specific historical period remains undisclosed, the setting promises to immerse viewers in a rich tapestry of past events. The development follows a strategic partnership established in 2020 between Netflix and Ubisoft, the game developer behind the highly successful franchise, which has sold over 230 million units worldwide.
Serving as showrunners are Roberto Patino and David Wiener, overseeing the creative vision for this adaptation. The production team includes executives from Ubisoft Film & Television, alongside producers Matt O'Toole, Gerard Guillemot, Margaret Boykin, Austin Dill, and Genevieve Jones. This venture marks a significant expansion of the Assassin's Creed universe into a new medium.
