Netflix is developing a new streaming series based on the iconic video game franchise Assassin’s Creed. This announcement has generated excitement among fans, especially with the confirmation of Toby Wallace as the first cast member, although his specific role has not yet been revealed. Wallace is known for his performance in The Bikeriders and for his upcoming participation in the third season of Euphoria, which is expected to premiere in 2026.
An actor with a great future
The Assassin’s Creed series promises to cover multiple time periods while maintaining the narrative essence that characterizes the games in the franchise. According to reports, filming will begin in Italy in 2026, a country that will not only serve as the setting for the series but is also closely related to some of the franchise’s most beloved stories. This suggests that the adaptation could focus on the famous trilogy of Assassin’s Creed II, Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood, and Assassin’s Creed: Revelations, which follows the exploits of the Italian assassin Ezio Auditore, an iconic character and fan favorite.
Although it has not been confirmed which character Wallace will play, he has been described as a “co-lead,” which may imply the presence of multiple killer protagonists throughout the episodes of the series. This could open the door to a more complex and rich narrative, similar to what players have enjoyed in the games.
Since its debut in 2007, the Assassin’s Creed franchise has released more than 30 games and explored various eras and characters, although the 2016 film adaptation, starring Michael Fassbender, did not capture the audience’s attention in the same way. Currently, there is no confirmed release date for this new Netflix series, leaving us all waiting for more details.
