Netflix has officially unveiled the casting list and setting for its upcoming 'Assassin's Creed' series.

Ubisoft and Netflix made the announcement on the 20th. The series is set in 64 AD Rome, and production has officially begun in the Italian capital. It appears the story will be an original narrative not found in the existing games.

While further details remain undisclosed, the specific year provides a clear historical context. 64 AD is known for the Great Fire of Rome. It was the reign of the infamous Emperor Nero, who, according to historical records, composed a poem about the fall of Troy while watching the city burn.

Meanwhile, the full casting list has been revealed. The lineup includes Toby Wallace from 'Euphoria' Season 3, Lola Petticrew from 'Tuesday', Tanzyn Crawford from 'A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms', and Laura Marcus from 'Death by Lightning'.
