Netflix and Ubisoft have officially taken a major step forward in bringing their live-action adaptation of Assassin’s Creed to life.
Instead of retelling one of the existing game narratives, the show aims to chart “a new storyline within the established Assassin’s Creed universe,” blending historical settings, political intrigue, and the iconic mix of parkour and covert action that fans associate with the franchise.
What This Casting Means for the Project’s Future
Toby Wallace’s involvement signals that development has moved beyond negotiations and into real production. Given Wallace’s past work including well-received performances in film and television. Live his presence adds considerable credibility. Observers see this as a sign that Netflix and Ubisoft are serious about delivering a high-quality adaptation that respects the source material while offering fresh narratives.

Showrunners Patino and Wiener carry strong track records in high-profile, genre-rich series, which raises expectations that the adaptation will balance spectacle with substance. With Netflix backing and Ubisoft’s creative oversight, the series could mark a turning point for video-game adaptations — a genre that has historically had mixed outcomes in film and TV.
