Besides Mac and Hawley, FX’s Far Cry will be executive produced by Emilia Serrano, Nick Frenkel, Jackie Cohn, John Campisi, Gerard Guillemot, Margaret Boykin, and Austin Dill.

According to the announcement, the project will stream on Hulu in the US and Disney+ globally.

As of the time of writing, the Far Cry franchise includes 15 installments, 6 of which are main series, 5 are spin-offs, and the other 4 are enhanced or adapted versions of the main title:
