Rob Mac is about to take a day off from Paddy's Pub.

The *It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia* actor is set to star in a new anthology series adapted from hit Ubisoft video game *Far Cry*, FX announced Monday.

The network noted that it had placed a series order for the show to stream on Hulu in the U.S. and Disney+ internationally.

Both Mac and Noah Hawley, creator of *Fargo* and *Alien: Earth *series for FX, will executive produce the new project.

"FX has had magnificent partnerships with Rob Mac and Noah Hawley for a combined six series and 32 seasons of television, and we couldn't be more excited that they are teaming up for *Far Cry,*" Nick Grad, the president of FX Entertainment, said. "I have no doubt that they will tell this story in a way that is original, gripping and wildly entertaining. We also want to thank our partners at Ubisoft for entrusting us with this beloved property."

The *Far Cry* series includes six main first-person shooter video games, each with its own story of survival in the wilds, action, adventure, and villains. Some of the games also include supernatural or science fiction elements.

Mac, who also appears as himself alongside actor Ryan Reynolds in FX soccer-club reality show *Welcome to Wrexham*, expressed his enthusiasm for the new project.

"Getting to work alongside Noah Hawley is a dream realized," he said. "Ubisoft has been remarkably generous, entrusting us with one of the most iconic video-game worlds ever created. And through it all, my FX family continues to lift me up with their constant belief and support."

For his part, Hawley said the series, like the games, has a revolving cast of characters.

"What I love about the *Far Cry* game franchise is it's an anthology," Hawley said. "Each game is a variation of a theme, the same way each season of *Fargo* is a variation on a theme. To create a big action show that can change from year to year, while always exploring the nature of humanity through this complex and chaotic lens is a dream come true. I'm excited to partner with Rob and bring our shared irreverent, ambitious sensibility to the screen."

Hawley's work on *Fargo* was rewarded in 2014, when the show won the Emmy for Outstanding Miniseries.
