Rumor has it that this adventure will unfold in the scenic vistas of Italy, sparking a tidal wave of speculation if our beloved protagonist Ezio Auditore da Firenze might make an appearance. Yet, hold your hidden blades, because Deadline reports the series introduces an entirely fresh cast, distinct from the games but still within the shared Assassin's universe!
While details are as mysterious as a Templar's secrets, producers tease that it won't strictly mirror the video games. Still, we're on the edge of our seats wondering which part of history will unfurl next — so don’t start sketching out Leonardo da Vinci fan art just yet!
You may have seen Toby Wallace showcase his chops before, starring in the 2024 thriller Eden or leading the charge in Danny Boyle’s Pistol. And hold tight, fans of Euphoria, as he’s just joined their star-studded lineup!
The announcement comes hot on the heels of July’s revelation that Netflix is finally catapulting the long-anticipated project forward after it was parked five years ago! With seasoned masterminds Roberto Patino and David Wiener at the helm, known for blockbusters like DMZ and Halo, we're expecting nothing short of an exhilarating ride!
“This series dives deep into the human saga — destiny, identity, power, and connection,” Patino and Wiener promise. “And it underscores the significance of human bonds despite the chaos of power and violence.”
No air date yet, but stay vigilant, Assassins — it's coming!
