Production Launch and Scope
Netflix’s third Extraction film, starring Chris Hemsworth, Idris Elba and Golshifteh Farahani, started principal photography this week across the South Coast and Sydney. Directed by Sam Hargrave from a screenplay by David Weil, the shoot is scheduled to run through September. The project is produced by AG BO’s Anthony Russo, Joe Russo, Angela Russo-Otstot, Michael Disco and Ari Costa, with Hemsworth and Benjamin Grayson representing Wild State, and executive producers Steven V. Scavelli and Shelby Malone.
Economic Impact and Job Creation
State incentives from the Australian Government’s Location Offset and the Made in NSW Fund are backing the production. Officials estimate the series will generate 450 local jobs and inject approximately $127 million into New South Wales’ screen industry and broader economy, supporting ancillary sectors such as security, hospitality and logistics.

NSW Arts Minister John Graham welcomed the high-calibre cast and crew, noting the importance of continued Netflix activity in the state. He highlighted cooperation from Minister Paul Scully, MP Allison Burns, Arts Minister Tony Burke, and Screen NSW.
