Lizzy Caplan is set to star alongside Rob Mac in Noah Hawley's Far Cry adaptation for Hulu.
Per a press release, the actor – whose 26-year career spans everything from Freaks and Geeks to Cloverfield – is set to star in an undisclosed role. We still don't know too much about the series yet, other than it will "retain Far Cry's signature standalone storytelling format with each season set in a new setting following a new cast of characters."
Based on the popular first-person shooter video game series of the same name, Far Cry was initially announced as an anthology series with each season featuring a new cast set in a new world. Noah Hawley serves as creator and showrunner, with Rob Mac (the artist formerly known as Rob McElhenney) starring and executive-producing under his More Bettter banner.
The first Far Cry game debuted in 2004, with each installment taking place in a different open world where survival is the goal (and there's multiple ending outcomes). My personal favorite is Far Cry 5, which takes place in the state of Montana which is overrun by a doomsday cult led by a man named Joseph Seed. No matter how you play the game, each outcome is a huge bummer (but I mean that in the best way).
Caplan's breakthrough role was Janis in the 2004 Tina Fey comedy Mean Girls, and she's gone on to star in everything from Cloverfield to Castle Rock, as well as the magician heist franchise Now You See Me.
