Netflix’s Assassins Creed Show Reportedly
One of the most requested settings in Assassin’s Creed history may finally be coming to life—not in a game, but in the upcoming Netflix live-action series. According to new reports, the adaptation is set to take viewers to the heart of Ancient Rome at the peak of its power.
The show, first announced in 2020, has been shrouded in secrecy. However, a new leak reported by industry sources claims the story will unfold around 50-70 AD. This timeframe is pinpointed by the alleged inclusion of major historical figures like the infamous Emperor Nero and the philosopher Seneca the Younger.
This setting fulfills a long-standing wish for many fans. While past games have touched on Roman history—Assassin’s Creed Origins is set during the Roman annexation of Egypt, and Brotherhood explores Renaissance-era Rome—none have depicted the ancient capital at its zenith, when it was a bustling metropolis of nearly a million people.
Netflix’s official description remains broad, framing the series around the eternal conflict between the Assassin’s Brotherhood and the Templar Order across pivotal historical events. The ancient Roman setting provides a rich backdrop for this secret war, full of political intrigue, monumental architecture, and legendary personalities.
