Netflix has given a straight-to-series order to 'Trigger Point,' an eight-episode action crime drama produced by A24. The series follows former Special Forces operators who sell their skills to the criminal underworld while being pursued by an FBI agent. It comes from writer and showrunner Harrison Query, with Jeremy Saulnier directing.
Series Overview
'Trigger Point' is described as an action crime drama centering on a group of former Tier One Special Forces operators. They use a private military contracting firm as a front to sell their elite skills to the criminal underworld. As they delve deeper into criminal activities, an FBI agent begins hunting them down.
The project secured its Netflix deal following a competitive bidding war. A24 is handling production, marking the second straight-to-series order for an A24 TV show recently, after Paramount+'s 'Discretion' starring Nicole Kidman in October.
Key Creative Team
Harrison Query serves as writer, showrunner, and executive producer. He is best known for his work on 'Heads of State.' Jeremy Saulnier, acclaimed for films like 'Green Room' and 'Rebel Ridge,' will direct and executive produce.
Executive producers also include Joe Hipps, former head of TV at Fifth Season, who launched his own production company in fall 2024 with an exclusive deal to develop shows for A24. 'Trigger Point' is one of the first projects under this banner. Patrick Macdonald is executive producing for Cut To.
Background Context
The series announcement highlights Netflix's continued investment in high-stakes action dramas. While specific casting details remain under wraps, the project aligns with Netflix's history of genre programming. Joe Hipps' new venture underscores A24's expanding footprint in television beyond its film roots.
No release date has been announced yet, but the straight-to-series order signals strong confidence in the concept.
