Netflix Orders EXTRACTION TV Series Starring Omar Sy With Glen Mazzara Writing & Russo Bros. Executive Producing
Netflix has ordered a TV series version of Extraction, set to star Omar Sy (The Intouchables, Jurassic World, Lupin). The show will be set in the same world as the Netflix film franchise. The streamer has commissioned eight episodes of the series.
The first “Extraction” film, which starred Chris Hemsworth, was released on Netflix in 2020. Hemsworth returned for the sequel in 2023. The films were based on the graphic novel “Ciudad” by Ande Parks.
Glen Mazzara (The Walking Dead, The Rookie) will serve as writer, executive producer, and showrunner. Anthony Russo, Joe Russo, Angela Russo-Otstot, Scott Nemes and Chris Castaldi executive produce for AGBO, with Sam Hargrave, Eric Gitter, and Peter Schwerin also executive producing. Joe Russo wrote the screenplay for both films and produced along with Anthony, Gitter, and Schwerin.
The official logline for the series states, “Set in the high-octane world of ‘Extraction,’ this action thriller follows a mercenary (Sy) as he navigates a dangerous mission to rescue hostages in Libya. Trapped between warring factions and ruthless killers, the series delves into the emotional struggles of conflicted and flawed characters, each facing trauma, betrayal, and life-or-death choices.”
