Toby Wallace is leaping into action.

Netflix announced that the Australian *Babyteeth* star will be a series regular on its forthcoming *Assassin's Creed* live action series. The streamer remained tight-lipped about what role Wallace will play on the series, but said in a press release on Tudum that he will "enter a world teeming with covert alliances, hidden agendas, and centuries of conflict." Sounds like *Assassin's Creed*!

Described as "a high-octane thriller centered on the secret war," the series will chronicle the conflict between "two shadowy factions," one of which the streamer described as "determining mankind's future through control and manipulation" and the other as "fighting to preserve free will." Those sound like the villainous Knights Templar and the Order of Assassins, respectively, from the long-running video game series.

The series' showrunners will be Robert Patino, who previously worked on shows like *Westworld *and *DMZ*, and David Wiener, who previously adapted a hit video game franchise into a live-action streaming series with *Halo*.

On the small screen, Wallace previously portrayed Steve Jones in Danny Boyle's Sex Pistols series *Pistol*, and acted on shows like *The Society* and *Romper Stomper*. On the film side, he's appeared in projects like *The Bikeriders*, which costarred Austin Butler and Tom Hardy. Wallace can next be seen in Justin Lin's drama *Last Days* and in season 3 of *Euphoria*.

The franchise kicked off in 2007 with the inaugural *Assassin's Creed* game, which saw a modern-day bartender whisked into a time-bending adventure where he relived an ancestor's "genetic memories" as an assassin during the Third Crusade.

The series has since spawned over a dozen mainline sequels and a number of spinoffs, bringing the action to various historical eras including the Italian Renaissance, the American Revolution, and Ptolemaic Egypt.

The first game was previously adapted into a live-action movie that reteamed Michael Fassbender with *Macbeth *director Justin Kurzel. The film earned around $240 million at the worldwide box office on a $125 million budget, and received a dismal 18% approval rating from critics on Rotten Tomatoes (and a 42% approval rating from audiences on the same platform).
