In conversation with The Hollywood Reporter, Ubisoft film and television director Helene Juguet sketched the mantra of the company for the upcoming slate of TV shows, stating: "Every show has a different purpose that it aims at a different format."
Among the confirmed shows is a special episode of the currently broadcasted Rabbids Invasion title; a "cyber mystery" for a tween audience, set in the Watch Dogs universe; a "family-friendly" Rayman series; and Captain Laserhawk: A Blood Dragon Vibe, a spin-off from Far Cry's own action-inspired expansion from the 80s, Blood Dragon.
Ubisoft also parachutes in Adi Shankar, who helped produce Netflix's own Castlevania adjustment to oversee the projects. “Adi is such a great fan of video games. We share the same culture and references," explains Juguet. "It's been great to give him the freedom to do something very fresh and bold with our characters.”

Other than that, there are currently no details regarding release dates and casting. There are, however, a handful of posters to accentuate the atmosphere of both the Watch Dogs series - which shows a young female lead actor at Ada Lovelace Middle School - and the Blood Dragon show. The latter has the slogan: "This is a hell of an apocalypse that we have" and features a protagonist that resembles eye-patched Rex, the protagonist of Blood Dragon.
