A new TV spin-off show set in the Extraction universe has been announced, and it'll be led by Lupin star Omar Sy. The series will once again be produced by the Russo Brothers, who are currently hard at work on Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars.
Per Variety, eight episodes of the new action thriller have been ordered, and they'll follow Sy as a mercenary navigating a dangerous mission. His task is to rescue a group of hostages in Libya in the midst of conflict between warring factions. The official logline confirms that it's "set in the high-octane world of Extraction" and will follow the "emotional struggles of conflicted and flawed characters, each facing trauma, betrayal, and life-or-death choices."
Sy is no stranger to action, having led several seasons of Netflix's hugely successful French thriller Lupin as well as appearing in franchises like Jurassic World and X-Men. However, he's also been recognized for powerful and emotional performances too, including in the acclaimed French movie Les Intouchables.
