Netflix is turning Chris Hemsworth’s Extraction films into a wider franchise. With a third film already shot and two spin-offs in development, the series that began in 2020 is set to grow well beyond Tyler Rake, ScreenRant reports. The Extraction 3 spin-offs signal how much the streamer values an action property built on a lead star and practical stunt work.
How Extraction became a Netflix staple
The first Extraction arrived on Netflix in April 2020. It was directed by Sam Hargrave, a former stunt coordinator, and produced by Anthony and Joe Russo’s AGBO. Hemsworth plays Tyler Rake, an Australian mercenary hired to rescue the kidnapped son of an imprisoned Indian crime lord.
The set pieces are the draw. ScreenRant highlights a 12-minute sequence staged to look like a single take, mixing street fights, car chases and rooftop pursuits. The 2023 sequel went further, with a prison-break sequence built as a continuous-shot illusion that runs for more than 20 minutes once its parts are joined.
According to ScreenRant, both films reached number one on Netflix’s global charts and entered the platform’s all-time most-watched English-language film rankings. That is a notable result for a subject most associated with his decade as Thor in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Rake is a more grounded character, and the outlet argues that his vulnerability gives the action an emotional anchor.
Extraction 3 cast and production
Netflix confirmed the third film in April 2026. Hemsworth returns alongside Idris Elba, whose mysterious character appeared late in Extraction 2 and offered Rake work with a powerful new employer. Hargrave is back as director, and David Weil, known for Hunters and Citadel, is writing the script.
Pierce Brosnan is also joining the cast, as is newcomer Don Lee. ScreenRant notes Lee has built a reputation for physical screen roles in South Korea’s The Roundup series. Hargrave has described the new film as the franchise’s biggest undertaking yet, according to the outlet.
Production started in New South Wales in July 2026 and then moved to Thailand. Reports indicate filming wrapped in late October. Our earlier coverage looked at Hemsworth wrapping his Thailand stint on Extraction 3. Plot details have not been revealed.
The spin-offs
The wider plan is what sets this apart from a standard sequel. ScreenRant says Netflix is developing two spin-offs that take the property into different countries and formats, with new characters leading their own stories.
The first is Tygo, a South Korean spin-off starring Don Lee. The ScreenRant article is cut short in the copy we were able to read, so we cannot confirm details of the second project here. We will update when Netflix or the producers share more.
What happens next
Netflix has not set a release date for Extraction 3. A 2027 release is the expectation, per Variety as cited by ScreenRant. With filming complete, the film now moves into post-production.
