Omar Sy Leads “Extraction” Spin-Off TV Series

Netflix has handed out a green light for a TV series spin-off set within the same world as its Chris Hemsworth-led action thriller film franchise “Extraction,” this one set to have “Lupin” star Omar Sy as the lead.

Glen Mazzara (“The Walking Dead”) will serve as executive producer and showrunner on the eight-episode series which has been set up at Joe and Anthony Russo’s AGBO. Hemsworth starred in the original “Extraction” films as Australian black ops mercenary Tyler Rake.

The currently 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, characters face life-or-death choices, betrayal and emotional struggles.

Peter Friedlander, VP Scripted Series at Netflix says: “Audiences are in for a thrill as we delve deeper into the Extraction universe… fans can expect even more of the high-octane adventures they love from the Extraction franchise.”

It will mark the second time Netflix has turned one of their successful franchises into a TV series, the first being the recently renewed “XO, Kitty” which was spawned from the “To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before” films.

Mazzara, Anthony Russo, Joe Russo, Angela Russo-Otstot, Scott Nemes and Chris Castaldi for AGBO, Sam Hargrave, Eric Gitter and Peter Schwerin will executive produce.

Netflix and AGBO have the film “The Electric State” releasing on the service on March 14th.
