Netflix has given a series order to “Trigger Point,” an A24-produced series starring Joel Edgerton.
The eight-episode action crime drama follows “a group of former Tier One Special Forces Operators who sell their elite skills to the criminal underworld behind the front of a private military contracting firm — and the FBI agent who’s hunting for them,” per the official logline. Edgerton will play Red, the criminal group’s leader.
Harrison Query serves as showrunner, with Jeremy Saulnier set to direct. Both are executive producers alongside Cut To’s Joe Hipps and Patrick Macdonald.
Edgerton is currently a name in the race for 2026’s lead actor oscar, having starred as Robert Grainier in the Clint Bentley-directed film “Train Dreams,” which debuted at Sundance before landing on Netflix. His prominent credits include playing Owen Lars in the “Star Wars” films “Attack of the Clones” and “Revenge of the Sith” plus the Disney+ series “Obi-Wan Kenobi,” Tom Buchanan in Baz Luhrmann’s 2013 “Great Gatsby” film, Richard Loving in Jeff Nichols’ 2016 film “Loving.” He also wrote, directed and starred in the films “The Gift” (2015) and “Boy Erased” (2018).
Deadline was first to report the news.
