According to recent reports, the live-action Assassin’s Creed series on Netflix is now expected to be set in Ancient Rome, specifically in the years 54–68 AD, during the reign of Nero—a time period not yet explored in the games.

The show is said to feature historical figures such as Nero and his tutor/philosopher Seneca the Younger. Often, the series will focus on a secret war between two hidden factions — one seeking to control humanity's fate, the other fighting to preserve free will. Characters will navigate pivotal historical events, engaging in conflicts that shape the course of history.

Also announced earlier, British‑Australian actor Toby Wallace has been confirmed as one of the lead cast members; though his exact role remains undisclosed.

In short: if these reports are accurate, the upcoming live‑action Assassin’s Creed adaptation might finally explore Ancient Rome — a setting many fans have long hoped to see, and one that could give the series a fresh, historically dramatic context.
