Netflix has announced that its upcoming drama series 'Man On Fire' will premiere on April 30, 2026. The streamer also released the first trailer for the show, which stars Yahya Abdul-Mateen II as John Creasy.
The series is based on A.J. Quinnell's novels 'Man on Fire' and 'The Perfect Kill', the first two books in a five-book series. It follows John Creasy, a former Special Forces mercenary struggling with PTSD, as he seeks redemption but is drawn back into danger.
The cast includes Billie Boullet, Bobby Cannavale, Alice Braga, Scoot McNairy, and Paul Ben-Victor. Kyle Killen serves as writer, executive producer, and showrunner, while Steven Caple Jr. directs the first two episodes and executive produces.
Previous adaptations of Quinnell's work include the 2004 film 'Man On Fire' starring Denzel Washington and a 1987 Italian film of the same name.
