Netflix has officially confirmed production of "Extraction 3," with Chris Hemsworth and Idris Elba set to reprise their roles in the action franchise, according to Hollywood Reporter. The film will once again be directed by Sam Hargrave, who also helmed the previous installments.
Filming for "Extraction 3" is scheduled to begin this summer, marking a significant continuation of the series nearly three years after the last release, as noted by Screen Rant. The production is backed by Netflix and AGBO, the latter being the production company co-founded by the Russo brothers.
In addition to Hemsworth and Elba, Deadline reports that actress Golshifteh Farahani is also closing a deal to join the cast. David Weil is attached to write the screenplay, elaborating on Variety's coverage of the creative team returning to this high-profile sequel.
The "Extraction" franchise has become one of Netflix's most successful action properties, with its R-rated approach contributing to its global popularity, as Screen Rant highlights. This expansion into a third film underscores the streaming service’s commitment to growing its original action offerings.
Industry observers will be watching for further casting announcements and plot details as the summer shoot progresses. The performance of "Extraction 3" will be critical for Netflix as it continues to invest in high-budget original content to compete with theatrical releases.
