AssassinsCreed Series Loses Showrunner Jeb Stuart [Exclusive]
Netflix has been releasing several video game adaptations over the last few years in both animation and live-action that have done a lot to change the idea of video game adaptations being bad. These include critically acclaimed series like Castlevania, Arcane, and most recently the incredible Cyberpunk: Edgerunners. The streaming service also has a number of upcoming projects, among these upcoming projects is a series adaptation of Ubisoft's flagship franchise Assassin's Creed.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY Collider's own Steven Weintraub had the opportunity to talk with Stuart about Vikings: Valhalla for Season 2 where he also asked if he was still working on Assassin's Creed, to which Stuart said he is "no longer involved" in the project. Weintraub followed up with an inquiry about what led to the separation between the two parties, asking if it was a "difference in vision.
"I think it was a little bit of a move of executives from LA to London, and it allowed the London group who, unfortunately, had to inherit my vision of what it was instead of getting to develop their own vision. So I think that's fair. I know it's going to be great whenever it comes out. I think the Ubisoft guys are fantastic. I think it's a terrific franchise. It was just a good, mutual time to move on for both sides.
The original announcement of the Netflix series was made back in September 2022 during the Ubisoft Forward Livestream when the series was described as an "epic, genre-bending live-action adaptation" by Marc-Alexis Côté, VP Executive Producer of Assassin's Creed, though the finer details of the series' plot haven't been revealed. The series is still in early development with Ubisoft Film and Television producing the show alongside Netflix.
The live-action Assassin's Creed series on Netflix is currently in early development. Stay tuned to Collider for future updates on the video game adaptation. You can check out the trailer for Assassin's Creed Mirage down below and look for more from our exclusive interview with Jeb Stuart soon.
