Netflix’s ‘Assassin’s Creed’ Live-Action Series Has Found Its Writers’ Room

The live-action Assassin's Creed series, which is currently being developed at Netflix, has found its writers’ room. The series will be based off the video game franchise of the same name published by Ubisoft.

While there's no official plot description for the show or any news on an official cast for the series, we are able to report on some names involved in the writers’ room according to Writer's Guild of America. This comes a month after Netflix Head of Gaming Alain Tascan revealed that the show was still in active development. Check out writers below, which have listed the series for 2025-2026 television season:

• Roberto Patino — Executive Producer, Showrunner (executive producer on Westworld and Showrunner of DMZ)

• David M Wiener — Executive Producer, Showrunner

• Claire Kiechel — Co-Executive Producer (writer on HBO's Watchmen and The Acolyte)

• Jaquén Castellanos – Co-Executive Producer (Writer on Good American Family and The Affair)

• Sanaz Toossi — Staff Writer (Writer on A League of Their Own)

• Emily St John Mandel — (Producer on Station Eleven)

• Sam Reynolds — Staff Writer (Writer on The Walking Dead: World Beyond)

• Daniel Goldberg — Staff Writer

• Tom Hemmings — Staff Writer

There's no news on when more development on the Assassin's Creed live-action series will be revealed, but the writers’ room brings together a diverse team from a broad range of backgrounds in television. Assassin's Creed previously released a live-action movie which is to be considered canon to the video games, but it is unlikely that Netflix's adaptation will be a continuation or connected in any way. Netflix were originally also producing an animated series and an anime, but it is currently unknown if they're still in development.
