Netflix Greenlights Extraction 3 With Chris Hemsworth Returning

The move underscores Netflix’s push to grow one of its most-watched original film franchises.

Overview

  • Hemsworth closed his deal Wednesday to reprise Tyler Rake as Sam Hargrave returns to direct, with Idris Elba and Golshifteh Farahani also set to come back and cameras planned to roll this summer.
  • David Weil is writing the new sequel in a shift from the first two films, which were written by Joe Russo.
  • Producers include AGBO’s Joe and Anthony Russo with Angela Russo-Otstot, and Hemsworth’s Wild State, as AGBO calls the threequel part of an expanding Extraction universe.
  • The summer start aligns with Hemsworth’s schedule after his Kockroach shoot, while Netflix and the filmmakers are keeping plot details and an official logline under wraps.
  • Extraction (2020) broke Netflix viewership records and, along with Extraction 2 (2023), ranks on the streamer’s Most Popular English Films list, with spin-offs like the South Korea–set Tygo and a series starring Omar Sy already in the works.
