"I'm not specifically adapting any of the games that they've put out. I'm saying much as I did with the Coens or X-Men, or Alien, 'let me have a dialog with this franchise, because this is what I think a Far Cry story is.'"
"The traditional gameplay structure of a video game--gameplay and skippable cutscenes--doesn't make for a compelling story. That makes the human drama kind of irrelevant to the storyline. That is death for a show."
"FX's adaptation will reportedly be an anthology series similar to Hawley's work on Fargo, with a new setting and a new cast of characters in each season."
The Far Cry TV series will not be a direct adaptation of the video games. Showrunner Noah Hawley aims to create an anthology series, exploring his interpretation of a Far Cry story. He believes traditional video game structures do not lend themselves to compelling drama. The series will feature new settings and characters each season, similar to Fargo. Rob McElhenney will be an executive producer and star in the first season, contributing to the show's dynamic approach to storytelling.
