Assassin’s Creed Live‑Action Series Enters Development with Netflix & Ubisoft—Casting and Production Prep Underway

Netflix and Ubisoft Film & Television have officially greenlit a live‑action Assassin’s Creed series, firmly entering development with a projected production ramp-up in late 2025. Helmed by Emmy-nominated showrunners Roberto Patino (DMZ, Westworld) and David Wiener (Halo, Fear the Walking Dead), the series promises high-stakes espionage, parkour-heavy action, and sprawling historical settings—offering rich appeal for producers, creatives, and on-set professionals alike.

The show is conceptualized as a high-octane thriller exploring the ongoing secret war between the Assassins and Templars, factions representing the struggle between human autonomy and manipulation. Built upon Ubisoft’s expansive lore, the series draws inspiration from the critically acclaimed Ezio-era storylines, with a narrative emphasis on moral choice, identity, and legacy.

In addition to Patino and Wiener serving as showrunners and executive producers, the producing team includes Margaret Boykin, Jason Altman, Danielle Kreinik, and Gérard Guillemot, representing both Netflix and Ubisoft’s internal film and television division. These veteran leaders provide editorial, creative, and financial guidance for a project positioned to deliver epic production scale and visual storytelling.

While full production dates remain early in planning, development meetings and visual concept development are underway—pointing toward a potential shoot in late 2025 or early 2026. Although official locations are yet to be finalized, early scouting is expected in versatile production hubs such as the United Kingdom or Canada. These regions offer studios, tax incentives, varied architectural backdrops, and robust local crews all essential for constructing both historical and modern Assassin’s Creed worlds.

For crew, Assassin’s Creed represents opportunities across multiple departments: production design for recreating historical cities, set construction, camera and lighting crews for choreographed action and parkour sequences, costuming capturing era-specific detail, practical stunt coordination, VFX coordination, post-production editing, sound, and more. Casting and supporting talent are likely to be confirmed in early 2026, enabling further casting, extras coordination, and casting assistant roles.

Though no confirmed release timeframe is publicly announced, the scale of the franchise indicates a substantial multi-season ambition. Netflix’s global platform ensures international distribution, making this a marquee production for both behind-the-camera and on-screen talent.
