Noah Hawley reveals plans for Far Cry TV show
Noah Hawley, known for hit series like Fargo and Alien: Earth, has been named showrunner for the upcoming Far Cry TV adaptation. In a recent statement, he stressed that the series will not be a direct adaptation of any existing games in the Far Cry franchise. He says that approach is necessary to create a more compelling viewing experience.
No direct adaptation of the games
Hawley emphasized that he will not be translating the stories and themes from the games literally to television. “I’m not specifically adapting the games that have been released so far,” Hawley said. “Let me have a dialogue with this franchise, because this is what I think a Far Cry story should be.” His approach highlights the unique nature of the Far Cry games as an anthology, with each new release telling a different story.
Focus on human drama
In interviews, Hawley explains that video games are often built in a way that does not lend itself well to drama in a series context.
