Netflix’s live-action series adaptation of Ubisoft’s flagship stealth RPG game franchise, Assassin’s Creed, has added more members to its line-up, building up its cast of potential Assassins (or Templars).
As announced by Tudum, the series has added four names to its cast, including Noomi Rapace (Prometheus), Ramzy Bedia (Haunted Minds), Sean Harris (Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation), and Corrado Invernizzi (Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny), with all four joining as yet-to-be-specified recurring roles.
The foursome will appear alongside the previously announced series regulars Lola Petticrew (Say Nothing), Toby Wallace (Euphoria), Tanzyn Crawford (A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms), Laura Marcus (Bad Education), and Zachary Hart (Slow Horses), although all character details have been kept under wraps for now.
Helmed by Roberto Patino (Westworld) and David Wiener (Halo), the Assassin’s Creed series is based on Ubisoft’s massively popular game franchise of the same name, with the Netflix show set to feature its take on the secret war between two shadowy factions, the Assassins and the Templars, with the former fighting for free will and the latter set on controlling and manipulating mankind. According to the series’ logline, “The series follows its characters across pivotal historical events as they battle to shape humanity’s destiny.”
The Assassin’s Creed gaming franchise is one of the best-selling series in video game history, tracing its roots to 2007 and totalling 14 instalments to date, with its most recent entry being 2025’s Assassin’s Creed Shadows. The franchise is also set to see the revival of one of its best games with the launch of Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag Resynced, which is expected to release before the end of March 2027, with its next mainline entry being Codename Hexe, an ambitious title that’s set to deviate from the franchise’s current RPG-focused affair.
In terms of live-action screen adaptations, director Justin Kurzel had previously dipped his toes into Ubisoft’s massive IP in the form of the 2016 Michael Fassbender-led Assassin’s Creed movie, although the film launched to lukewarm reception, so hopefully Netflix can now step in to offer up something far more worthy of the Brotherhood.
