Netflix Adds Three Actors Including MCU Star to Extraction Series

Netflix is expanding its Extraction franchise into a television series, shifting from the original films' intense action set pieces to a more serialized, team-driven format. The show stars Omar Sy as a mercenary on a hostage rescue mission in Libya, navigating complex rival factions and exploring themes of trauma, betrayal, and difficult moral decisions. The cast has recently grown to include May Calamawy, known for her role in Moon Knight, as Priscilla Ragab, an intelligent and composed executive; Waleed Zuaiter as Hamza Najjar, a former soldier with a strong sense of justice; and Ed Speleers as Alford Griff, an unpredictable engineer, with Calamawy and Zuaiter as series regulars and Speleers in a recurring role. Glen Mazzara serves as the showrunner, writer, and executive producer, with production by AGBO, the company founded by Anthony and Joe Russo, who also produced the original films. This series continues Netflix's strategy of adapting successful film franchises into TV formats, following the 2020 Extraction film and its 2023 sequel starring Chris Hemsworth. The new TV adaptation aims to deepen the Extraction universe by extending its story and ethical dilemmas across eight episodes.
