Ubisoft And Netflix Reportedly Talking About An Original Series

Netflix has shown to the world that it’s perfectly capable of creating great original content and it has been increasingly focusing more on providing even more original content than ever before. It has created a whole string of original series that feature Marvel characters and according to a new report, we might soon get to see another new series that features characters from the Ubisoft universe.

Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot said today that the company is in talks with Netflix over a series. He also addressed the speculation about the company’s future, he reiterated his desire to keep Ubisoft independent even as a major shareholder that goes by the name Vivendi continues to mount pressure in the bid of taking over the company.

Vivendi’s stake in Ubisoft is more than 20 percent at this point in time. It has been gradually increasing its stake in the company to gain more influence but Vivendi has said that it’s not going to make a hostile bid for Ubisoft. It has already ruled out that possibility.

Ubisoft has already dabbled in film so it was only a matter of time before it turned its attention to TV series which can turn out to be a big cash cow should the series be very well received.

Guillemot didn’t go into the specifics of the talks that Ubisoft is having with Netflix so nothing is known about this original series at this point in time.
