The latest instalment of Netflix’s hit action franchise reunites Hemsworth with Idris Elba and Golshifteh Farahani while delivering another major boost for Australia’s screen industry, with the production expected to create 450 local jobs and inject an estimated $127 million into the state’s economy.
Filming is now underway across Sydney and the NSW South Coast under returning director Sam Hargrave, who helmed the first two films in the franchise.

While plot details remain under wraps, Extraction 3 follows two previous films that helped establish the series as one of Netflix’s most successful action franchises.
Hargrave said the team is taking its “biggest swing yet” with the latest instalment.
“Our goal has always been to push the boundaries of action filmmaking, and with Extraction 3, we’re taking our biggest swing yet.”
Debra Richards, Netflix’s APAC Director of Production Policy, said the production highlights the value of continued government support for Australia’s screen industry and the opportunities created for local crews.
“We’re thrilled to bring Extraction 3 to life in New South Wales, working with exceptional local crews on a project of this magnitude.”
“Federal and State support remains vital in strengthening the Australian film landscape and building sustainable professional pathways.”
Based on the graphic novel Ciudad, the Extraction franchise became an instant success for Netflix, with both previous films earning places on the streamer’s Most Popular English Films list.
The production is supported through the Australian Government’s Location Offset and the NSW Government’s Made in NSW Fund via Screen NSW.
Extraction and Extraction 2 are available to stream on Netflix now.
