If you have ever followed the progress of the series, you should still remember that in October 2020, Netflix announced a partnership with Ubisoft, the two companies will develop a series based on the well-known game "Assassin's Creed". The project has been in early development for the past two years, and things seem to have taken a step back now, with the show's screenwriter Jeb Stewart announced his departure.
Jeb Stewart is known for the screenwriter of Die Hard, and he also worked as the screenwriter of Netflix's hit series Vikings last year. In a recent interview, Jeb Stewart revealed that he had left the project. But the good news is that the series has not been cancelled, and the new production team may continue to move forward based on his original script, and in the words of Jeb Stewart, the new task force will inherit his vision.
Ubisoft Group's "Assassin's Creed" has many players and fans around the world. The producers of film and television works have always tried to adapt this popular game into a film and television work. After the release of the "Fashark" Michael Fassbender film version of "Assassin's Creed" in 2016, the response was mediocre. Neither the game fans nor passers-by were attracted by the film. Although the film achieved a good box office, the sequel plan for this film was cancelled in the evaluation of the film's poor response.
At present, we are not sure which time and location of Netflix's drama version of Assassin's Creed will select. For drama fans and game fans, they will still have expectations for this series, but the remaining question is when Netflix will start this highly anticipated series in its long series plan.
