It’s been nearly five years in the making, but the live-action Assassin’s Creed series at Netflix is finally greenlit with Roberto Patino (Westworld, Sons of Anarchy) and David Wiener (Halo, The Killing) as creators, showrunner and executive producers.
The blockbuster Assassin’s Creed gaming franchise from French video game publisher Ubisoft first launched in 2007. The games have gone on to sell more than 230 million copies worldwide.
Assassin’s Creed jumped from consoles to the big screen in 2016 via Twentieth Century Fox. The movie version made $240 million at the worldwide box office.
The Assassin’s Creed TV show follows other gaming adaptations at Netflix, like Castlevania, Arcane, Cyberpunk: Edgerunners and the upcoming Splinter Cell: Deathwatch.
