Remember Ubisoft's live-action Assassin's Creed TV series that it's been cooking up over at Netflix? No? Well, don't beat yourself up about it; I'm pretty sure Ubi's forgotten once or twice too. The studio was first chatting about its grand plans to make an AC TV show in 2017, in the afterglow of the (not very good) Michael Fassbender-led AC film.
Then all went quiet, save some burblings about an anime, until 2020. In the thick of Covid, one Guillemot or another bolted up in bed and remembered that they were supposed to be making an AC series. So we got an incredibly brief, 10-second teaser and, well, that was it. Then, three years later, it lost its showrunner.
