Assassin's Creed: Nero and Seneca in Rome's Tumultuous Era (54-68 AD)
The upcoming Netflix Assassin's Creed series will transport viewers to Ancient Rome during Emperor Nero's reign (54-68 AD) and feature historical figures Nero and Seneca the Younger, according to Nexus Point. Toby Wallace is expected to star as one of the protagonists, though his specific role remains undisclosed. Showrunners Roberto Patino and David Wiener plan to begin filming in Italy in 2026. The series' timeline occurs roughly a century after Aya's brief visit to Rome in Assassin's Creed: Origins, where she assassinated Julius Caesar in 44 BCE. The show may depict Nero's death and the ensuing chaos of the Four Emperors civil war, potentially exploring the presence of Aya's Hidden Ones in ancient Rome. As in the games, the series aims to portray the central conflict between two opposing factions: one fighting for freedom and the other seeking control. The show intends to blend history, drama, action, and moral dilemmas. While a release date has not been announced, the first episodes could premiere in 2026 or 2027 if production proceeds as planned.
