The long-awaited live-action adaptation of Assassin’s Creed is finally moving forward. The upcoming series, which is being developed for Netflix, has officially started filming in Italy.
The project was first announced as part of a collaboration between Ubisoft and Netflix to expand the Assassin’s Creed universe beyond video games. While the franchise has already seen one live-action adaptation with the Assassin’s Creed film released in 2016, the new series is expected to explore the lore of the universe in greater depth.
Although specific story details have not yet been revealed, the choice of Italy as a filming location has sparked speculation among fans. Many believe the setting could connect to the era of Ezio Auditore, one of the franchise’s most iconic characters, whose story took place in Renaissance Italy in titles like Assassin’s Creed II.
Netflix has not yet confirmed the cast, plot, or release window for the series. However, production beginning is a strong sign that the project is progressing after several years of development.
The Assassin’s Creed franchise remains one of Ubisoft’s most successful properties, spanning numerous games, novels, and adaptations since the first title launched in 2007.
With filming now underway in Italy, fans are eager to see how the world of assassins and templars will translate to television.
