The hidden blades are finally being unsheathed as Netflix’s ambitious live-action adaptation, Assassin’s Creed, takes its first steps into the shadows of history. The leap of faith from gaming consoles to streaming screens is officially underway with production moving into high gear this month. Shrouded in the same secrecy that defines the Brotherhood, the project has begun capturing the rugged beauty.

Recent reports from local authorities have shed light on exactly where the Creed is currently operating.

According to The Florentine, the Parco Nazionale delle Foreste Casentinesi has confirmed that filming for the live-action series, Assassin’s Creed, is currently taking place in the Camaldoli area (Italy). Park officials verified that the necessary permits were issued for production to occupy the historic forests surrounding the Eremo di Camaldoli.

“As the authority that issued one of the necessary permits, we can confirm your report, as the filming in question is currently taking place in the Camaldoli area,” the park authority clarified the query of The Florentine. 

This lush, secluded region provides the perfect atmospheric backdrop for the stealth-based storytelling the franchise is known for. Issue 1492 of Production Weekly indicate that the cameras began rolling in Rome on March 9, 2026, marking the start of an extensive shoot. The production is expected to span seven months, with a projected wrap date of October 16, 2026.

With the locations secured, the focus shifts to the specific historical era being brought to life.

The live-action series Assassin’s Creed adaptation promises to dive into the age-old conflict between those who seek total control and those who fight for the survival of free will. Showrunners Roberto Patino and David Wiener are leading the creative charge, collaborating closely with Ubisoft Film & Television to ensure the series honors its gaming roots.

The production team includes heavy hitters like Gérard Guillemot and Margaret Boykin, who are tasked with translating the franchise’s parkour and stealth into a cinematic experience. By blending historical accuracy with a shadowy conspiracy, the creators aim to deliver a narrative that spans several pivotal moments in human history.

The official description confirms that the show will center on the legendary struggle between the Assassins and the Templars as they battle to shape the destiny of mankind. Rather than just a simple action show, the series is being framed as a complex thriller that explores the ethics of manipulation versus independence. With a release targeted for the 2027 season, the countdown has officially begun for fans to see the iconic hidden blade in a brand-new light.
