Netflix has confirmed a live-action Assassin's Creed series is in development, after initial reports five years ago. The project, based on a deal with Ubisoft since 2020, has seen multiple creative changes. Roberto Patino and David Wiener will serve as showrunners, creators, and executive producers. The series focuses on a battle between the Templars and the Assassins, exploring themes of free will, human connection, and the search for purpose across historical contexts and timelines.
"We've been fans of 'Assassin's Creed' since its release in 2007. 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."
