Netflix Assassin’s Creed Series Starts Production in Rome and Rounds Out Ensemble Cast with Four Additional Recurring Cast Members
Netflix’s live-action Assassin’s Creed series began production in Rome, Italy for an original story set in Rome 64 AD. Production is primarily taking place at Cinecittà Studios, expanding on the already-established Ancient Rome set on the back lot to immerse filming in this iconic time period.
Assassin’s Creed is a high-octane thriller centered on a secret war between two shadowy factions. One, the Templar Order, wants to determine mankind’s future through control and manipulation, while the other, the Assassin Brotherhood, fights to preserve free will. The series follows its characters across pivotal historical events as they battle to shape humanity’s destiny.
Sandra Guldberg-Kampp (Foundation, The Rain, Electric Child), Youssef Kerkour (A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms), Mirren Mack (Hedda, 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple), and Louis McCartney (Stranger Things: The First Shadow) have been cast as recurring characters, completing the ensemble. Here is the full cast for Netflix’s Assassin’s Creed series:
Roberto Patino (DMZ, Westworld, Sons of Anarchy) and David Wiener (Halo, Homecoming, The Killing) are showrunners and executive producers for Assassin’s Creed. Gerard Guillemot, Margaret Boykin, Austin Dill, and Genevieve Jones will executive produce for Ubisoft Film & Television. Matt O’Toole will executive produce as well.
