Far Cry TV Series filming begins
Noah Hawley Brings Chaotic World of Far Cry to Television with FX Series
The anticipation for a new cinematic experience has officially begun, as filming is underway on Noah Hawley’s ambitious new television series, Far Cry, for FX. This project translates the sprawling, chaotic world of the popular Ubisoft game franchise into a high-stakes, character-driven anthology aimed at exploring the complex nature of humanity.
Hawley, known for creating acclaimed shows like Fargo, Legion, and Alien: Earth, is leveraging his unique vision for this new venture. The series promises a dynamic shift from season to season, each installment plunging viewers into a distinct global setting, each filled with its own despots, wilderness survival challenges, and unique cast of characters.
The source material for the series is rooted in the core concept of the games: players are thrust into unforgiving wilderness environments—be it tropical islands, East Africa, the Himalayas, or the rugged terrain of Montana—where survival hinges on fighting regional despots and navigating brutal wildlife.
This expansive, game-inspired structure is the foundation for an anthology format. With each season taking the viewer to a different world, the series ensures a fresh narrative landscape and a new set of characters to explore the often-irreverent and ambitious themes Hawley aims to tackle.
Hawley has expressed a clear creative goal: to create an action-packed show that evolves annually while constantly exploring the chaotic lens of human nature. The resulting series is set to deliver a visually rich and thematically complex experience that blends high-octane action with deep philosophical inquiry.
The production team is bringing together a stellar cast, including familiar faces like Steve Buscemi, Lizzy Caplan, and Rob Mac, who brings a specific, often darkly humorous energy to the proceedings.
Fans can stream the unfolding drama when it arrives, with Far Cry set to premiere on Hulu in the United States, and on Disney+ in other international markets.
