Netflix Green-Lights 'Assassin's Creed' TV Series Adaptation

JUL 17 – The series explores a secret war between two factions fighting for control or free will and is part of Netflix's ongoing partnership with Ubisoft, creators of a franchise with over 230 million sales.

  • On July 18, 2025, Netflix greenlit the live-action series, based on Ubisoft’s Assassin’s Creed franchise and following a five-year content deal.
  • Netflix first entered talks in 2016, and after formalizing a deal in 2020, it lost writer Jeb Stuart in early 2023.
  • With Roberto Patino and David Wiener at the helm, the series will explore the Assassins–Templars conflict and offer more than sword fights, as Patino and Wiener teased.
  • Peter Friedlander said the collaboration’s success, Ubisoft noted its drive to surpass the 2016 film, and fans responded eagerly.
  • Beyond Assassin’s Creed, the franchise has sold over 230 million units worldwide, highlighting its global impact and potential for expanded adaptations.
