Chris Hemsworth's "Extraction" Is Getting a TV Spin-Off

An “Extraction” TV series has been greenlit at Netflix.

Omar Sy will lead the series, which is set in the same world as the Netflix film franchise. The streaming giant 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 serves 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. Hargrave directed both films, with AGBO producing.

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.”

The series keeps Sy in business with Netflix, as he stars in the streamer’s hit French thriller series “Lupin.” 

The show sees Sy playing Assane Diop, a professional thief who imitates the literary character Arsène Lupin. The show has released 17 episodes across two seasons thus far, with more in development. 

“Lupin” met with strong critical acclaim upon its release and currently ranks as one of the top 10 most-watched non-English language Netflix series of all time.

Sy is also known for his roles in shows like “SAV des émissions” and for films such as “Intouchables,” “Jurassic World,” “Chocolat,” “The Killer,” and “The Takedown.”
