Toby Wallace has joined the cast of Assassin’s Creed live-action series as a co-lead, embarking on one of the most anticipated projects inspired by a hit video game.
Wallace, known for his work in Euphoria – Bikers and Pistol, became the first confirmed lead actor in the adaptation, which promised to bring the franchise’s famous battles to life with new characters and new stories.
The series explores a secret war between two powerful groups, one attempting to control the future of humanity while the other fights to protect freedom.
Although it draws inspiration from the games, the series features original characters who faced pivotal moments in history.
However, Wallace’s role remained a secret, adding excitement to fans.
The project is the result of a twenty-year collaboration between Ubisoft Film and Television and Netflix.
Filming is planned for 2026 in Italy, which will serve as a key location. Additionally, details about the exact time period have not been shared, which keeps the timeline of the series a mystery.
Roberto Patino and David Wiener led the series as showrunners and executive producers.
They were joined by Gérard Guillemot, Margaret Boykin, Austin Dill, Geneviève Jones and Matt O Toole.
Assassin’s Creed sold over two hundred and thirty million units worldwide, making it one of the most successful gaming franchises of all time.
The casting of Toby marked his return to Netflix after The Company and came after finishing Euphoria season three.
Her growing career also includes roles in Bikers and that of Ron Howard Eden.
