AceShowbiz - New details have emerged regarding the production schedule for the next chapter in the Extraction franchise. The highly anticipated sequel, Extraction 3, starring Chris Hemsworth as Tyler Rake, is slated to begin principal photography in June 2026.
According to a report from What's on Netflix, filming is expected to continue through October 9, 2026. The production will primarily take place in Sydney, Australia, which is the home country of Chris Hemsworth. Additionally, some scenes are planned to be shot in Europe during the summer months, although exact locations have yet to be confirmed.
Extraction 3 will see the return of director Sam Hargrave, who directed the first two films in the series. The project is produced by AGBO, the company founded by Anthony and Joe Russo. Joe Russo is also expected to write the screenplay. Other producers involved include Mike Larocca, Angela Russo-Otstot, Eric Gitter, and Peter Schwerin, with Fraser Taggart serving as the cinematographer.
The franchise is based on the graphic novel Ciudad, created by Ande Parks along with Joe and Anthony Russo. It follows the story of Tyler Rake, a black ops mercenary tasked with high-stakes international rescue operations. Joe Russo has mentioned the team is exploring ways to expand the storytelling beyond Tyler Rake’s journey.
Beyond Extraction 3, Netflix is also developing additional projects within the franchise. An eight-episode spin-off series called Mercenary, starring Omar Sy, focuses on a mercenary involved in a hostage rescue mission in Libya. Another spin-off film titled Tygo features Don Lee as a former child soldier turned mercenary navigating South Korea’s criminal underworld.
The announcement of Extraction 3 came during Netflix Tudum in 2023, confirming the continuation of the R-rated action series. Fans can look forward to a return of the intense, adrenaline-fueled narrative when production begins in mid-2026.
