Executives and producers span Ubisoft, 26 Keys, More Better, and other partners, emphasizing a cross-studio collaboration for FX, Hulu, and Disney+ international distribution.

Lizzy Caplan joins the cast, marking a high-profile addition as filming and development proceed under the banner of Ubisoft Film & Television, 26 Keys, and More Better Productions.

FX is moving forward with a Far Cry television adaptation created by Noah Hawley and Rob Mac, with Mac also set to star in the series.

The project is described as a big-action series that can reinvent itself each season while exploring human drama through a chaotic lens.

Caplan’s involvement was confirmed via a Far Cry social media teaser and subsequent press coverage, with details about her character kept under wraps for now.
