Summary
Lizzy Caplan has been cast in FX’s upcoming “Far Cry” TV series, joining creator-star Rob Mac in the first live-action television adaptation of Ubisoft’s game franchise.
The show will use an anthology format mirroring the games, with a different cast and setting each season, though plot and character details remain undisclosed.
FX first set up the project in November 2025 with Noah Hawley and Mac; it will stream on FX, Hulu and Disney+ internationally and be produced by FX Productions.
Caplan brings recent FX ties after “Fleishman Is in Trouble,” which earned her an Emmy nomination, adding to credits across “Masters of Sex,” “Zero Day” and the “Now You See Me” films.
The adaptation taps a long-running franchise launched in 2004 that has released six main games, most recently 2021’s “Far Cry 6,” and reached more than 100 million unique players.
