Assassin’s Creed on Netflix Welcomes Star from Game of Thrones Spin-Off
A new face joins Netflix’s Assassin’s Creed series, with Tanzyn Crawford set to appear alongside familiar names from the upcoming Game of Thrones prequel, A Knight Of The Seven Kingdoms.
Netflix’s much-anticipated live-action take on Assassin’s Creed continues to gather momentum, with the latest addition to its ensemble being Australian actress Tanzyn Crawford. Audiences may soon spot her in another high-profile project, as she’s also lined up for a role in the Game of Thrones prequel, A Knight Of The Seven Kingdoms.
Word has it that Crawford is set to become a series regular in the streaming giant’s adaptation of Ubisoft’s long-running saga, famed for its shadowy assassins and improbable leaps into hay bales. She’ll be joining a cast that already includes Toby Wallace, Lola Petticrew, Zachary Hart, and Laura Marcus. Details about their characters remain tightly under wraps—one imagines the scripts are being guarded by individuals with a penchant for hoods and rooftop acrobatics.
Filming Plans and Secrecy
Production is currently pencilled in for 2026, with Italy chosen as the backdrop—a decision likely to please those who hold a soft spot for the exploits of Ezio Auditore. Despite the mounting excitement, the creative team is keeping a firm lid on which era the story will explore, or which member of the clandestine order will take centre stage. For now, speculation is all that’s on offer.
While the Assassin’s Creed project remains shrouded in mystery, Crawford’s other major role is a little more forthcoming. She’s set to appear in A Knight Of The Seven Kingdoms, the latest addition to the ever-expanding Game of Thrones universe, which is due to premiere on HBO Max in January.
Stepping into Westeros
In this new chapter, Peter Claffey steps into the boots of Ser Duncan the Tall—known to his friends as “Dunk”—with Dexter Sol Ansell portraying his squire, Aegon Targaryen, or “Egg.” Crawford will take on the part of Tanselle, a travelling puppeteer whose path crosses with Dunk and Egg as they embark on their journey, swords and shields in tow.
The series promises to delve into fresh corners of Westeros, with Crawford’s character adding a touch of intrigue to the duo’s adventures. The anticipation surrounding both her roles is palpable, as fans of both franchises await further news.
What Lies Ahead
With so much secrecy surrounding the Assassin’s Creed adaptation, viewers are left to wonder which stories from the game’s sprawling timeline might make the leap to the small screen. Meanwhile, those keen to keep up with the latest tales from the world of Game of Thrones can look forward to a growing slate of spin-offs and prequels, each promising new faces and fresh intrigue.
