On 14 June 2021, it was announced by Variety that Stuart had been enlisted to serve as writer and showrunner for the live-action Assassin's Creed television series, a Netflix Original series.[3] In February 2022, Stuart provided a disappointing update to The Playlist, noting that they hadn't even started the casting process. But gave a few other hints, one being that the show would probably be shot internationally, and the other that the show is bound to feature unbelievable action.[4] By 2 January 2023, he was no longer part of the project. He cited the moving of executives from London to Los Angeles as the reason, though wished Ubisoft all the best with the series.[5]
