Netflix's Assassin's Creed Series: Cast, Plot, and Production Details Revealed
Netflix is bringing the popular video game series Assassin's Creed to life in a new live-action series. Lola Petticrew has been cast in an undisclosed role alongside Toby Wallace. The series will focus on the age-old conflict between the Assassins and the Templars, with a high-tech device called the Animus allowing individuals to relive the past and influence historical events. The show will be helmed by showrunners Roberto Patino and David Wiener.
Petticrew, an Irish actor who uses they/them pronouns, has appeared in various films and TV series, including A Bump Along the Way and Anne Boleyn. They are set to star in the upcoming adaptation of I See Buildings Fall Like Lightning. This new Netflix series marks another attempt to bring the Assassin's Creed franchise to the screen after a less successful 2016 film adaptation starring Michael Fassbender.
Production for the Netflix series is scheduled to begin in Italy next year, with no release date announced yet. Fans of the game series and newcomers alike can look forward to more updates on this exciting project. Stay tuned to Collider for the latest news and updates on Assassin's Creed.
