I'm excited by this! Having worked on the IP, I’ve always felt Far Cry’s strength isn’t a single overarching narrative, it’s the self-contained moral chaos each story explores. If they embrace that freedom via anothlogy, this could be something exceptional.
The Far Cry franchise is making the leap to TV, with Noah Hawley (Alien: Earth, Fargo) and Rob Mac (It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia) joining as executive producers.
