More Driver Projects From Ubisoft Post Show Cancellation

Despite the cancellation of the planned live-action Driver TV series, Ubisoft assures fans that other Driver franchise projects are underway. Read on for the latest details.

Ubisoft Remains Committed to Future Driver Projects

Ubisoft has officially confirmed to Game File that the live-action Driver TV series adaptation is no longer in production. Initially announced in 2021 for exclusive streaming on Binge.com, the project was part of Ubisoft's broader strategy to expand its game franchises into other media. As stated by Ubisoft Film & Television head Danielle Kreinik, the goal was "to bring our games to life in new and exciting ways and create content set in the world, culture, and community of gaming."

The partnership dissolved due to the closure of Hotrod Tanner LLC, a Ubisoft subsidiary involved in film projects (and named after the Driver protagonist), in January of this year. A Ubisoft spokesperson confirmed to Game File, "We are no longer moving forward with our partnership with Binge for a Driver series."

However, Ubisoft has reassured fans that development continues on other Driver projects. The company stated it is "actively working on other exciting projects related to the franchise" and looks forward to making future announcements. Specific details about these new projects remain undisclosed, so fans should stay tuned for further updates.
