Today, a new report has unearthed the full plot synopsis for Netflix’s Assassin’s Creed live-action TV series. The synopsis once again confirms that the series will take place during Ancient Rome at the start of Emperor Nero’s evil reign of tyranny. This time period has been untouched by the video games by Ubisoft:
“Set in the vast and volatile world of Ancient Rome—an era yet untouched by the franchise—the new series plunges players into the political shadows of Nero’s early reign. As the young emperor tightens his grip on power, his famed tutor and advisor, Seneca the Younger, struggles to curb Nero’s darker impulses. When whispers of corruption, betrayal, and a mysterious hidden order begin to spread through the palaces and forums of Rome, a new assassin emerges from the fringes of the Empire. Tasked with uncovering a conspiracy that entwines Nero’s ascent, Seneca’s uneasy influence, and a plot that reaches from the imperial court to the city’s underbelly, the assassin must navigate shifting loyalties and deadly intrigue. Set between 54–68 AD, this chapter explores the birth of tyranny—and the blade poised to reshape history.”
The cast so far includes Toby Wallace, Lola Petticrew, Zachary Hart, Laura Marcus, and Tanzyn Crawford. Production has yet to be announced but will begin later this year in various locations across Italy.
