ASSASSIN'S CREED TV Series Is In The Works And There's A Chance It Will Air On Netflix

The first film adaptation of the critically acclaimed series strongly underperformed, but it didn't stop Ubisoft Motion Pictures from taking another leap of faith - this time, on a smaller screen...

There's no denying that last year's Assassin's Creed film was a massive disappointment. With a production budget of $125M it was only able to pull in $240M worldwide. Fans and critics collectively called it yet another video-game movie that didn't do justice to the source material. But it looks like Ubisoft still has high hopes for the future of its biggest series in the film industry. 

During the recent AMA on Reddit, Assassin's Creed Head of Content, Ymar Azaiza revealed that Ubisoft is fond of producing a TV series set in the universe of Assassin's and Templars. "We will take our time to get sure we deliver something we can be proud of”, Azaiza said on the topic.

Back in 2016, Yves Guillemot, the head of French games developer mentioned on the annual shareholders meeting that his company was negotiating with Netflix for a new series. There's a big change that this series could be Assassin's Creed, but no public announcement has been made yet. 

Do you think that Assassin's Creed series deserves a second chance on television? Or maybe it should stay in movie theatres? Be sure to leave your thoughts down below!

If it's on Netflix, it might have a chance of being good. But let's not talk about the movie ever again.

I want to watch Ezio Trilogy as a series. Right from his childhood to his death. See the important historic events through his eyes. Firenze, Roma, Constantinople...

I feel like this could be good actually. The movie was a bad idea, but this has the chance to really dig into the plotting, drama, and time that it takes them to take down a villain.

It just shouldn't be that hard to make good video game adaptations. Although I put a good deal of the failure of the genre so far on gamers themselves.

So long as they don't stray as far from the source as the movie.

Wow, it's true. AC would work way better as a series than as a movie.
