The network will launch the show on Hulu in the United States and on Disney+ in other markets. Fans of the games can now look forward to an anthology series that changes location, story and cast each season.
Creators Bring Gaming Action to the Small Screen
Noah Hawley, the creator of Alien Earth and Fargo, will lead the project as showrunner.

The Far Cry TV series will add another bold entry to their joint portfolio. By using the anthology format, the show can travel to new corners of the world and keep each season fresh.
What Fans Can Expect
Each season will tell a self contained story set in a different region. The writers will craft new characters who face chaotic and violent situations. Viewers can expect high stakes, vivid environments and moral dilemmas that echo the games. The series will also feature the signature Far Cry escalation that fans love.
Release Details and Streaming Partners
