The “Extraction” universe is expanding at Netflix.
The streaming service has greenlit a new series set in the same world as its Chris Hemsworth-led “Extraction” films, with Omar Sy in the lead role.
Former “Walking Dead” writer Glen Mazzara has been tapped as the thriller series’ showrunner and he will executive produce alongside AGBO’s Anthony and Joe Russo and Angela Russo-Otstot, as well as Scott Nemes, Chris Castaldi, Eric Gitter, Peter Schwerin and “Extraction” director Sam Hargrave.
“Audiences are in for a thrill as we delve deeper into the ‘Extraction’ universe,” Peter Friedlander, vice president of Scripted Series at Netflix, said in a Thursday statement.
