In the latest example of building crossover film-TV universes based on its original titles, Netflix has greenlighted a TV series starring Omar Sy (Lupin) set in the world of its action thriller movie franchise Extraction, headlined by Chris Hemsworth.

Glen Mazzara (The Walking Dead) serves as executive producer and showrunner on the eight-episode series executive produced by Joe Russo and Anthony Russo’s AGBO which produced the movies, written by Joe Russo.

Set in the high-octane world of Extraction, the yet-untitled action thriller series 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. “Audiences are in for a thrill as we delve deeper into the Extraction universe,” said Peter Friedlander, VP, Scripted Series, Netflix. “With Omar Sy leading the charge, our collaboration with the Russos, alongside Glen Mazzara, fans can expect even more of the high-octane adventures they love from the Extraction franchise.” This is the second time Netflix has extended a successful original movie franchise into a TV series.
