The Driver TV series, which was announced back in 2021, has officially been canceled. This news comes as a disappointment to fans who were looking forward to seeing the popular video game franchise brought to life on the small screen. Originally intended to launch alongside a gamer-focused streaming service called Binge in 2022, the series never got off the ground due to the cancellation.
While the cancellation of the Driver TV series is a setback, there is still hope for the franchise. According to a Ubisoft spokesperson, the company is “actively working on other exciting projects related to the franchise.” This statement suggests that while the TV series may be dead, there are other plans in the works to keep the Driver universe alive and thriving.
The Legacy of Driver: San Francisco
The Driver video game series has a long and storied history, with the last installment, Driver: San Francisco, released in 2011. The game was well-received by fans and critics alike for its unique gameplay mechanics and engaging storyline. However, since then, there has been a notable absence of new Driver games, leaving fans hungry for more content.

Driver: San Francisco introduced players to the character of Tanner, a racing driver who finds himself in a coma with the ability to possess the drivers of different vehicles around an open-world city. This mechanic added a fresh twist to the gameplay and helped to set the game apart from other racing titles on the market.
With the cancellation of the Driver TV series, many fans are left wondering what the future holds for the franchise. Will Ubisoft revive the series with a new video game, or are they planning something entirely different? Only time will tell, but one thing is for certain – the world of Driver is far from over. Stay tuned for any exciting updates on the future of this beloved franchise.
