Two weeks after the renewal of Alien: Earth, Noah Hawley is confirmed to be helming a television series based on the Far Cry video games. Previously, a Far Cry TV adaptation was reportedly in development by Hawley and It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia star Rob Mac, formerly known as Rob McElhenney.

FX Networks has now announced that the Far Cry television series from Hawley and Mac is officially moving forward. Along with his role behind the scenes, Mac will star in the FX show, which is set to be an anthology that changes characters, plot, and the setting in every season. The announcement teases that "madness, chaos and a touch of moral ambiguity await."

Hawley explained that the creative decision to make the show an anthology would allow it to be faithful to the game franchise. He compared it to Fargo, another FX series he previously worked on, and shared how excited he is to develop the adaptation alongside Mac. Check out Hawley's statement below:

What I love about the Far Cry game franchise is it’s an anthology. Each game is a variation of a theme, the same way each season of Fargo is a variation on a theme. To create a big action show that can change from year to year, while always exploring the nature of humanity through this complex and chaotic lens is a dream come true. I’m excited to partner with Rob and bring our shared irreverent, ambitious sensibility to the screen.

Mac expressed his own enthusiasm about having the opportunity to work with Hawley and being able to adapt a video game universe as "iconic" as Far Cry.

Getting to work alongside Noah Hawley is a dream realized. Ubisoft has been remarkably generous, entrusting us with one of the most iconic video-game worlds ever created. And through it all, my FX family continues to lift me up with their constant belief and support.

President of FX Entertainment, Nick Gad, also spoke about the upcoming show while emphasizing Hawley and Mac's longtime history with the network.

FX has had magnificent partnerships with Rob Mac and Noah Hawley for a combined six series and 32 seasons of television, and we couldn’t be more excited that they are teaming up for Far Cry,” said Nick Grad, President, FX Entertainment. “I have no doubt that they will tell this story in a way that is original, gripping and wildly entertaining. We also want to thank our partners at Ubisoft for entrusting us with this beloved property.”

Alongside the news of Alien: Earth being renewed for season 2, it was announced that Hawley signed a new overall deal with Disney Entertainment Television. This would involve him developing more series for FX, with Far Cry being the first to be confirmed.
