Video game franchise Far Cry is getting the series treatment from Noah Hawley<\/a> (Alien: Earth<\/a>) and Rob Mac<\/a> (It\u2019s Always Sunny in Philadelphia).<\/p>\n

According to Variety<\/a>, the dynamos from the sci-fi and comedy world are adapting Ubisoft\u2019s video game series that centers on survival in an action-packed genre setting. It could be an island where mad scientists are running experiments or extremist militias are rampaging through post-apocalyptic collapsed societies. The blend of action and anthology makes sense for Hawley, and the madcap energy of the narrative definitely befits Mac, who will also star.<\/p>\n

So we\u2019re excited about the duo co-creating the live-action series for FX in the network\u2019s tried-and-true anthology format\u2014Hawley\u2019s Fargo as well as American Horror Story come to mind.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat I love about the Far Cry game franchise is it\u2019s an anthology. Each game is a variation of a theme, the same way each season of Fargo is a variation on a theme,\u201d Hawley told Variety. \u201cTo create a big action show that can change from year to year, while always exploring the nature of humanity through this complex and chaotic lens is a dream come true. I\u2019m excited to partner with Rob and bring our shared irreverent, ambitious sensibility to the screen.\u201d<\/p>\n

After what Hawley\u2019s done with Alien: Earth, we are so game for this. Far Cry marks Mac\u2019s second collaboration with Ubisoft Film and Television, having previously developed and starred in Mythic Quest for Apple TV. While the details of the show\u2019s plot remain under wraps, Mac hyped, \u201cGetting to work alongside Noah Hawley is a dream realized. Ubisoft has been remarkably generous, entrusting us with one of the most iconic video game worlds ever created. And through it all, my FX family continues to lift me up with their constant belief and support.\u201d<\/p>\n
