Netflix has released the first teaser trailer for the action series Man on Fire, starring Emmy winner Yahya Abdul-Mateen II (Aquaman, Wonder Man), as well as Billie Boullet, Bobby Cannavale, Alice Braga, Scoot McNairy, and Paul Ben-Victor.
The series is based on the novels by A.J. Quinnell, which were previously adapted into movies starring Scott Glenn in 1987 and Denzel Washington in 2004. The new series is created, written, and showrun by screenwriter Kyle Killen (The Beaver, Scenic Route, Mind Games), with episodes directed by Vicente Amorim, Clare Kilner, and Michael Cuesta.
The synopsis reads: "Adapted from A.J. Quinnell's book series, Man on Fire tells the story of John Creasy. Once a high-functioning and skilled Special Forces Mercenary, known for surviving even the most desolate of situations, Creasy is now plagued with intense PTSD.
“Determined to overcome his personal demons, he sets out on a path to redemption. But, before he can adjust to this new life, he finds himself back in the fire, fighting harder than ever.”
This looks like an action-packed series with a great story and star to lead it. Check out the teaser below, and watch Man on Fire when it drops on Netflix on April 30th.
