Overview
- Multiple outlets reported Thursday that Netflix is developing a television series inspired by the 2024 film Hit Man with Glen Powell and Richard Linklater set to serve as executive producers and Stephen Falk writing.
- AGC Television and Powell’s BarnStorm Productions are listed as producers and several co-executive producers have been named, but Netflix declined to comment on the reporting.
- The project is described as an early proposal with no green light, no signed deals and no casting or business terms reported, and it is unclear whether Powell or Linklater would appear on screen.
- The series is expected to follow the film’s disguise-based premise drawn from the true-crime story of Gary Johnson without revealing plot details or twists.
- The move follows Netflix’s recent pattern of turning successful acquisitions into series and the next milestones to watch are a formal series order, identified showrunner and announced cast.
