Netflix Announces New ‘Extraction’ Spin-Off With a Fresh Twist

Netflix is expanding its Extraction universe with a new spin-off film called TYGO, which will be set in South Korea. The movie will star Don Lee, Lee Jin-uk, and Lisa from BLACKPINK.

The story follows Tygo, a former child soldier turned mercenary, who seeks revenge on Korea’s criminal underworld after a mission goes wrong.

The project has been in development for several years and is being produced by Big Punch Pictures and AGBO, with co-production from Nova Film and B&C Content.

Angela Russo-Otstot, producer and chief creative officer of AGBO, said, “We’re thrilled to explore the world of Extraction through a South Korean lens, teaming up with legendary action star Don Lee and visionary director Lee Sang-yong, whose dynamic choreography exemplifies the world-class craft of Korean cinema.”

Don Lee added, “TYGO brings a distinctly Korean identity into the global Extraction universe. We can’t wait to unleash its explosive energy on audiences worldwide.”

Lee Jin-uk, known for Squid Game and Sweet Home, shared his excitement: “As a fan of the Extraction franchise, it’s a great honor for me to join this universe.”

Lisa, making her first major film appearance after acting in Season 3 of HBO’s The White Lotus, said, “I’m so honored to be a part of this project and grateful for the opportunity to work alongside such incredible actors. Being in an action film has always been a dream of mine, and for my first movie role to be in such an exciting action film is a dream come true.”

The Extraction films are based on the graphic novel Ciudad by Ande Parks and the Russo brothers, and they follow high-stakes search-and-rescue missions around the world. Earlier this year, Netflix also announced a new Extraction series starring Omar Sy, Boyd Holbrook, and Natalie Dormer. That series will focus on a mercenary navigating warring factions and dangerous killers to save hostages in Libya.

TYGO marks the ninth collaboration between Netflix and AGBO, which started with the original Extraction in 2020 and continued with Extraction 2 in 2023. Other films from the partnership include The Gray Man and The Electric State.
