Lola Petticrew is the latest addition to the cast of Netflix‘s live-action “Assassin’s Creed” series, Variety has confirmed. Petticrew will star alongside previously announced cast member Toby Wallace. Exact character details are being kept under wraps. The official logline for the show states that it is “centered on the secret war between two shadowy factions — one set on determining mankind’s future through control and manipulation, while the other fights to preserve free will. The series follows its characters across pivotal historical events as they battle to shape humanity’s destiny.”
The “Assassin’s Creed” games explore the war between the rival secret orders of the Assassins and the Templars as they use advanced machines to access the genetic memories of Assassins in different periods of the past to track down powerful artifacts called Pieces of Eden. Petticrew recently starred in the FX drama “Say Nothing” and the Channel 4 series “Trespasses.” Her other TV credits include “Three Families,” “Anne Boleyn,” and “Bloodlands,” while she has also starred in films such as “Tuesday,” “Wolf,” and “Dating Amber.” Petticrew is repped by CAA, Range Media Partners, B-Side Management, and Sloane Offer. Roberto Patino and David Wiener serve as creators, showrunners, and executive producers. Gerard Guillemot, Margaret Boykin, Austin Dill, and Genevieve Jones of Ubisoft Film & Television serve as executive producers, as does Matt O’Toole. The first “Assassin’s Creed” game debuted in 2007 and became an instant hit, with over 230 million copies of the various titles in the franchise having been sold to date. There have been 14 installments in the main franchise so far, with the most recent being “Assassin’s Creed: Shadows,” released in 2025. A film adaptation starring Michael Fassbender was released in 2016.
