The “Extraction” franchise is based on the graphic novel “Ciudad” by Ande Parks, Joe Russo, Anthony Russo, and Fernando Leรณn Gonzรกlez.

It began with the 2020 film “Extraction”, directed by Hargrave and produced by Joe Russo and Anthony Russo, best known for their work in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Set largely in Dhaka, the first film follows Rake, a black-market operative tasked with rescuing an Indian crime lordโs kidnapped son. It became one of Netflixโs most-watched originals and was praised for its gritty tone and long-take action sequences.

The follow-up, 2023’s “Extraction 2”, continues his story, centring on a high-risk prison rescue mission in Georgia.

“Extraction 3” is set to start production this summer.
