Boyd Holbrook (Logan, The Bikeriders, A Complete Unknown) is the latest actor to join the cast of the Extraction TV series currently in the works at Netflix. The show was formally announced back in February with Omar Sy in the lead role.

As reported at the time, it is set in the same world as Netflix’s “Extraction” films and has received an eight-episode order. Exact character details for Holbrook are being kept under wraps.

The logline for the show states, “A mercenary (Sy) embarks on a dangerous mission to rescue hostages in Libya. Trapped between warring factions and ruthless killers, he must navigate life-or-death choices while confronting deep emotional wounds. The series explores the trauma, betrayal, and moral conflicts of characters pushed to the edge.”

Glen Mazzara serves as writer, executive producer, and showrunner on the Extraction series. Anthony Russo, Joe Russo, Angela Russo-Otstot, Scott Nemes and Chris Castaldi executive produce for AGBO, with Sam Hargrave, Eric Gitter, and Peter Schwerin also executive producing. Ari Costa of AGBO will produce.

The first Extraction film, which starred Chris Hemsworth, was released on Netflix in 2020. Hemsworth returned for the sequel in 2023. The films were based on the graphic novel “Ciudad” by Ande Parks.

The casting keeps Holbrook in business with Netflix, as he has starred in the shows The Sandman and Narcos at the streamer.
