FX‘s anthology series Far Cry has added Brendan Gleeson, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Hamish Linklater, Sam Spruell and Jamie Demetriou to its cast.
They join the previously announced Rob Mac, Lizzy Caplan and Steve Buscemi in the cast of the series based on Ubisoft’s global hit video game franchise.
Each season of the Noah Hawley and Mac series will retain Far Cry’s signature standalone storytelling format, with each season set in a new setting and following a new cast of characters. Details regarding the plot of Season 1 are under wraps.
Six game releases, from 2004 to 2021, have been released as part of the franchise, with an additional seven spinoffs and expansions. The games are known for the exhilaration of the first-person shootouts, organic open-world playgrounds, unique stories, and memorable antagonists.

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