Overview
- Reports on Thursday and Friday say Netflix is developing a television series inspired by the 2023 film Hit Man with Glen Powell and Richard Linklater attached as executive producers.
- Stephen Falk, creator of You’re the Worst, is reported to be the writer and showrunner while AGC Television and Powell’s BarnStorm Productions are listed as producers.
- The project is described as an early proposal with no formal green light, no finalized deals announced, and Netflix declining to comment to reporters.
- Coverage does not confirm whether Powell will reprise his on-screen role and says casting and specific episode plans remain undeclared.
- The move follows Netflix’s $20 million acquisition and the film’s festival exposure and award nods, making the disguise-of-the-week premise a natural fit for a procedural-style series and a likely candidate for franchise expansion.
