Assassin’s Creed Netflix Series Adds Star From Game of Thrones Spinoff
Australian actress Tanzyn Crawford joins Netflix’s live-action Assassin’s Creed series, while also set to appear in the Game of Thrones prequel, A Knight Of The Seven Kingdoms.
The cast for Netflix ’s highly anticipated live-action take on Assassin’s Creed is gradually coming into focus. The latest addition is Australian actress Tanzyn Crawford, who’s also gearing up for a major role in the upcoming Game of Thrones prequel, A Knight Of The Seven Kingdoms. As reported by Deadline, Crawford is set to be a series regular in the new show, which will dive into Ubisoft’s long-running saga of secretive assassins and daring escapes. She’ll be joining a cast that already includes Toby Wallace, Lola Petticrew, Zachary Hart, and Laura Marcus. For now, the details about their characters are being kept tightly under wraps—almost as closely guarded as the franchise ’s legendary hidden blades.
Production for the series is currently targeted for 2026, with filming planned in Italy. That’s sure to spark excitement among fans of Ezio Auditore and the Italian chapters of the Assassin’s Creed universe. However, with so much secrecy surrounding the project, there’s still no word on which era the story will explore or which assassin will take center stage.
New Faces in Westeros
While fans wait for more news on the Assassin’s Creed adaptation, Crawford is also set to make her mark in the world of Westeros. She’ll appear in A Knight Of The Seven Kingdoms, the upcoming Game of Thrones spinoff scheduled to premiere January 18 on HBO Max. The series will follow Peter Claffey as Ser Duncan the Tall, known as “Dunk,” and Dexter Sol Ansell as his squire, Aegon Targaryen, or “Egg.” Crawford will portray Tanselle, a traveling puppeteer who encounters Dunk and Egg during their journey filled with swordplay and adventure.
With both projects on the horizon, Crawford’s star is clearly on the rise. Her roles in two major franchises are sure to put her in the spotlight as both series draw closer to their respective premieres.
What’s Next for Game of Thrones Fans?
For those curious about what other stories from the Game of Thrones universe are in the pipeline, there’s a full slate of upcoming tales set to expand the world of Westeros. As anticipation builds for both the Assassin’s Creed series and A Knight Of The Seven Kingdoms, fans have plenty to look forward to in the coming years.
