Latest News About Assassin's Creed Lineage

Here’s the latest I can share about Assassin’s Creed: Lineage.

• Netflix’s live-action Assassin’s Creed series is in development, with production planned to begin in Italy in 2026. It’s described as a high-octane thriller inspired by the games but not a direct adaptation of any single story.[1][2]
• The project has assembled showrunners and producers including Roberto Patino and David Wiener, aiming to explore pivotal historical events while focusing on themes like human connection and free will across different eras.[2]
• Assassin’s Creed: Lineage, the earlier three-episode live-action miniseries from 2009, remains a bridge piece between Assassin’s Creed and Assassin’s Creed II, following Giovanni Auditore’s perspective in Renaissance Florence. The films were released online and later compiled for broader viewing.[3][4]
• For reference, you can watch the original Lineage miniseries on platforms that hosted it and review its Wikipedia/IGN entries for summaries and cast details.[5][7]
