Netflix has announced that production has begun at last on its Assassin's Creed TV adaptation.
Initially announced back in October 2020, it's been about five and a half years without much of an update — but now we have a slightly better idea of where we are in the show's existence.
In a post on social media, Netflix shares that the series has finally gotten started in Rome, Italy:
The post also highlights many members of the cast, including Toby Wallace, Lola Petticrew, Laura Marcus, Tanzyn Crawford, Zachary Hart, Claes Bang, Nabhaan Rizwan, and more.
The TV show tells an original story, and is set to take place in Rome circa 64 AD. Here's the official synopsis:
"Assassin’s Creed is a high-octane thriller centered on the secret war between two shadowy factions — one set on determining mankind’s future through control and manipulation, while the other fights to preserve free will. The series follows its characters across pivotal historical events as they battle to shape humanity’s destiny."
There's no knowing exactly when the show will be ready to watch, but given that production is only just starting now, it's still gonna be a while to wait. At least things are moving at long last.

With netflix at the helm, this could be huge.
Ngl this franchise is perfect for an anime adaptation with a good studio at the helm like wit or madhouse
If we are being real, I think they already peaked with Assassin's Creed live action when they did this, if anyone remembers it:

@Yor-sama No MAPPA mention is crazy work
@Oram77
Lineage is legitimately great. I do wish they would go for something like that again.
do the entire desmond saga from ac1 - ac4. the rest don’t matter
@Oram77 tbf there is no way MAPPA should take on anymore properties. Already got too many and leaving lots unfinished, plus apparent sh*tty working conditions.
@Jacko11 I can never defend MAPPA for the way they treat their artist but no one can deny the animation is truly incredible, my profile pic is an example of it, oh and the Chainsaw man movie is god tier
@Oram77 I actually thought it was really good, and the cast looked phenomenally close to their game counterparts (except Ezio).
I wanted to say “great another ruined franchise”, but ubisoft already managed that years ago.
Noomi Rapace and Sean Harris are great gets.
AD 64, huh? Gotta wonder, think the show's timeline will last long enough to deal with Rome burning? Allegedly while its emperor plays the fiddle as the flames rage?
I really enjoyed the AC movie, with Michael Fassbender and Jeremy Irons.
If the writers are faithful to the lore, then this could be great, Lots of historical periods to explore, too.
But I fear that certain vocal people will dislike this anyway, as they will never think it is accurate enough.
There is so much potential with where this could go under the helm of Netflix. With Assassins Creed being one of my favourite series ever. I am really happy to see that we could get something fundamentally better than what's out there.
@Oram77 well they deserve a rest
After this anime season they went all out with jjk s3 and hells paradise
@DennisReynolds Harris in the Borgias was brilliant.
If it's not about Assassins vs Templars and Ancient Aliens, I'm out. Seriously...
