Steve Buscemi has been cast in FX's upcoming live-action Far Cry anthology series. He joins a growing ensemble that includes Rob McElhenney, co-showrunner of the series and creator of "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia," and Lizzy Caplan.
Buscemi's notable career spans films such as "Reservoir Dogs," "Fargo," and "The Big Lebowski," as well as television series like "Boardwalk Empire" and "Wednesday." The specific role Buscemi will play in the Far Cry series has not yet been disclosed.
The Far Cry series is envisioned as a limited run, with each episode expected to feature a distinct narrative, setting, and cast. It remains unclear whether these individual stories will be adaptations of existing Far Cry video games or entirely original creations. The show is being developed by Rob McElhenney and Noah Hawley, who is also known for creating FX's "Fargo" and the upcoming "Alien: Earth."
An official premiere date for Far Cry has not been announced. The series is slated to debut on FX and will be available for streaming on Hulu in the U.S. Internationally, it will also be accessible on Disney+.
