Tyler Rake Comes Home
The choice of Sydney as the primary filming base is significant on multiple levels. The first Extraction was drenched in the heat and chaos of Dhaka, Bangladesh; the second was a snowbound, adrenaline-soaked sprint through Prague and Vienna. For the third chapter, director Sam Hargrave and Hemsworth are finally delivering the Australian production they have been pursuing since 2021, when COVID-19 lockdowns originally forced the sequel out of Sydney and into Central Europe.
Australia’s strikingly diverse terrain — sun-scorched outback, rugged coastlines, dense urban sprawl — promises a fresh visual aesthetic compared to the previous entries. For fans who’ve followed the franchise closely, this feels like a genuine evolution, not just a change of postcode.
The Dream Team Returns
The entire creative engine behind the franchise’s success is back in place. Sam Hargrave, who went from being one of Hollywood’s most respected stunt coordinators to a top-tier action director with the first two films, returns to direct. Joe Russo handles scripting duties, with the broader AGBO production company backing the project alongside a team of experienced producers. Notably, Fraser Taggart — cinematographer on Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning — joins the crew, bringing serious blockbuster pedigree to the visual execution.
The Extraction Universe Is Expanding Fast
Netflix and the Russo Brothers are not thinking small here. Extraction 3 is just one piece of a growing franchise ecosystem. An 8-episode spin-off series titled Mercenary, starring Omar Sy (Lupin), is already in production and expected to hit Netflix before the third film. A Korean spin-off film called Tygo, starring Don Lee (Eternals), is also in development, set within Seoul’s criminal underworld.
What started as a single high-octane Netflix film in 2020 is rapidly becoming one of streaming’s most ambitious action franchises.
