Though Claudia Doumit is plenty busy with her role in the hit Amazon Prime seriesThe Boys, the actor recently pushed for a spinoff TV series forCall of Duty: Modern Warfare. Doumit played Farah Karim in theCall of Duty: Modern Warfarecampaign, and the actress thinks that a show focused on the character would be a success.
Infinity Ward seems to have plans for Farah going forward, as the character was recently introduced to multiplayer modesinModern Warfareas a Season 6 operator. The character was integral to the campaign, providing many of the strongest story beats throughout. With Farah surviving the events of the game and a freshModern Warfareuniverse to be explored, Doumit believes a show centered on the character would be a smart move.

With Activisionlosing interest in aCall of Dutymovie, perhaps a Farah-led series is the right move for the company. Regardless, Doumit was incredibly enthusiastic when posed the question in an interview for Comicbook.com, saying that the interviewer was killing her “now that they put the idea in [her] head.” Doumit not only talked about how much she loves Farah and “wants to play Farah forever,” but also how much she “loves that idea” and wants to “make it happen.”
With many unansweredquestions remaining fromCall of Duty:Modern Warfare’s campaign, the series would have plenty of directions to go in if Activision had interest in the idea. Farah also has an incredibly deep backstory, with plenty of potential for flashbacks to her childhood and time in captivity. Farah could potentially join the rebooted Task Force 141 inModern Warfare’s potential sequels as well, making it possible for exciting cameos in the show from characters like Ghost and Captain Price.
Call of Dutywould hardly be the only video game to get a television series, as numerous live action and animated shows based on games are in the works.The Last of Usis getting a live action series on HBO, with Joel voice actorTroy Baker requesting a role in the project. AnAssassin’s Creedanimated series was recently confirmed as well, joiningCastlevaniaand an upcomingResident Evilseries on the platform. One major advantage for the potential Farah series is that Claudia Doumit could play the character on screen as well, with the show being able to go in either an animated or live action direction.
Regardless of whether the Farah series happens, it is nice to see Doumit so enthusiastic about her role as Farah. For those interested in the actor’s other work,the second season finale ofThe Boyssets Doumit’s character up to have a much larger role when the show returns.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfareis available now on PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.
