Lizzy Caplan To Star In FX’s “Far Cry”

Disney has announced new details on the upcoming original anthology series, “Far Cry”, which is based on the popular video game from Ubisoft.

The limited series from Noah Hawley and Rob Mac, who will also star, will retain Far Cry’s signature standalone storytelling format with each season set in a new setting following a new cast of characters.

It has been revealed that Lizzy Caplan has joined the cast, though no character details were revealed.  Lizzy has previously starred in the FX limited series “Fleishman Is In Trouble,” where she earned an Emmy nomination for Outstanding Lead Actress.   She has also starred in Netflix’s “Zero Day” and Paramount’s “Fatal Attraction”.

Since 2004, Far Cry has had more than 100 million unique players and is one of Ubisoft’s most popular franchises. The award-winning Far Cry franchise is known for the exhilaration of the first-person shootouts, organic open world playgrounds, unique stories and memorable antagonists.

FX’s “Far Cry” is executive produced by Noah Hawley, who created FX’s Emmy-winning anthology series “Fargo” and “Alien: Earth” for television through his 26 Keys production banner, and Rob Mac, creator of “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia” and Executive Producer of the Emmy-winning “Welcome to Wrexham” through his production banner More Better Productions.

In addition to Mac and Hawley, the series is executive produced by Simon Emanuel, Emilia Serrano for 26 Keys, Nick Frenkel for 3 Arts, Monica Macer, Peter Calloway, John Campisi, and Gerard Guillemot, Margaret Boykin and Austin Dill for Ubisoft Film & Television. The series will be produced by FX Productions.
