In the 8-episode action-packed thriller Extraction, a mercenary (Omar Sy) embarks on a dangerous mission to rescue hostages in Libya. Trapped between warring factions and ruthless killers, he must navigate life-or-death choices while confronting deep emotional wounds. Extraction explores the trauma, betrayal, and moral conflicts of characters pushed to the edge.
In a series regular role, Dormer will play Clayton Wisper, the leader of a private military contractor, sources tell Deadline.
This is the second time Netflix has extended a successful original movie franchise into a TV series. It’s To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before film trilogy spawned a hit comedy series, XO, Kitty, which was recently renewed for a third season. In the opposite direction, the streamer has a Peaky Blinders movie coming up based on the popular TV series.
The 2020 action thriller Extraction, directed by Sam Hargrave, was based on the graphic novel Ciudad by Ande Parks, with art by Fernando León González, and co-written by Joe and Anthony Russo. Chris Hemsworth stars as an Australian black ops mercenary who takes on a mission to save an Indian drug lord’s kidnapped son in Dhaka, Bangladesh, but the mission goes awry when he is double-crossed.
A sequel, Extraction 2, was released in 2023, with the main cast returning. The movie brings back Hemsworth’s Rake, who is tasked with a new mission — rescuing the battered family of a ruthless Georgian gangster from the prison where they are being held.
AGBO produced both films.
In addition to the Russo brothers and Mazzara, executive producers include Angela Russo-Otstot, Scott Nemes, and Chris Castaldi for AGBO, Sam Hargrave, Eric Gitter, and Peter Schwerin, Netflix & AGBO: A Proven Partnership. Ari Costa produces for AGBO.
Dormer is repped by 111 Media, United Agents, UTA, and Jackoway Austen Tyerman.
