The acclaimed and popular Assassin's Creed is finally getting a live action TV show on Netflix. The news was reported on by both Variety and The Hollywood Reporter who say that Netflix has ordered a live-action series adaptation. Variety says that Roberto Patino and David Wiener are set to feature as the series creators, showrunners, and executive producers. Ubisoft will obviously have some input in the Assassin's Creed TV show as well. It's not clear when we will see the fruits of their labour.
"We've been fans of 'Assassin's Creed' since its release in 2007," Wiener and Patino said. "Every day we work on this show, we come away excited and humbled by the possibilities that 'Assassin's Creed' opens to us. Beneath the scope, the spectacle, the parkour and the thrills is a baseline for the most essential kind of human story — about people searching for purpose, struggling with questions of identity and destiny and faith. It is about power and violence and sex and greed and vengeance. But more than anything, this is a show about the value of human connection, across cultures, across time. And it's about what we stand to lose as a species, when those connections break. We've got an amazing team behind us with the folks at Ubisoft and our champions at Netflix, and we're committed to creating something undeniable for fans all over the planet."
"When we first announced our partnership with Ubisoft in 2020, we set out with an ambitious goal to bring the rich, expansive world of 'Assassin's Creed' to life in bold new ways," said Peter Friedlander, Netflix's vice president of scripted series. "Now, after years of dedicated collaboration, it's inspiring to see just how far that vision has come. Guided by the deft hands of Roberto Patino and David Wiener, the team has carefully crafted an epic adventure that both honors the legacy of the 'Assassin's Creed' franchise and invites longtime fans and newcomers alike to experience the thrill of the Brotherhood as never before."
