Lizzy Caplan is joining the Far Cry universe.
The 43-year-old Now You See Me: Now You Don’t actress is set to star alongside Rob Mac in the upcoming FX and Hulu series based on the Ubisoft video game franchise, THR reported Thursday (June 25).
There are still no details about her and Rob‘s characters, nor the plot. However, we do know that the show will have a different cast and plot each season, just like the video games.
Like other FX projects, Far Cry will stream on Hulu in the U.S. and Disney+ internationally.
Details about the story for Far Cry, and thus Caplan’s and Mac’s characters, are being held close to the vest for now. The series, like the games, will feature a different cast and plot each season.
Far Cry is a first-person shooter game franchise, first released in March 2004. There are six main games, a standalone expansion, and several spin-offs. The games don’t have a shared narrative, but rather the same premise: a player is placed into a wilderness environment and survive.
Noah Hawley and Rob Mac (formerly Rob McElhenney) are co-creating the show. Noah has worked with FX multiple times in the past, on shows like Fargo and Alien: Earth, which was recently renewed for a second season.
