Details on the show’s story and cast remain thin so far, except the confirmation that it will draw on local French talent. We do also know that French director Mathieu Turi (who worked as assistant director on Quentin Tarantino’s Inglourious Basterds) is involved in its production. He said in a Tweet:
“It’s official! I’m honored to work on the adaptation as a TV series of A Plague Tale,” Turi wrote. “Thank you to Asobo Studio and Focus Entertainment for their trust. I can’t wait to bring Amicia and Hugo’s journey to the screen!”

Twinfinite reviewed the game when it was released in 2019 and was thoroughly impressed, scoring it 4/5 and concluding: “A Plague Tale: Innocence is a late-generation gem that shouldn’t be missed by anyone with even a passing interest.“
