The show will follow the same historical timelines and major world events that the Ubisoft game franchise uses.
Robert Patino (Westworld) and David Wiener (Halo) serve as the main showrunners and executive producers of the series. Ubisoft Film & Television production provides backing to the project while Gerard Guillemot and Margaret Boykin control the process of converting the video game content into live action series.
The series already announced its confirmed cast members who include:
- Toby Wallace
- Lola Petticrew
- Zachary Hart
- Laura Marcus
- Tanzyn Crawford
The majority of Netflix investment into the Ubisoft library comes from this series because the games sold more than 230 million copies since 2007. The production work will continue until 2026 while character details will become public when the premiere date gets closer.
