Netflix has released an official teaser trailer for Man on Fire. The upcoming action thriller series is based on the novel of the same name and its first sequel, The Perfect Kill, by A. J. Quinnell.
Man on Fire has previously been adapted twice to film. The first was in 1987, with Scott Glenn as John Creasy. Denzel Washington then took on the role for the 2004 adaptation, which was directed by Tony Scott.
Yahya Abdul-Mateen II will be the third actor to portray John Creasy. He leads a cast that includes Billie Boullet, Alice Braga, Scoot McNairy, Paul Ben-Victor, and Bobby Cannavale.
Plot Synopsis:
Man on Fire follows John Creasy, who was once a high-functioning and skilled Special Forces Mercenary known for surviving even the most desolate situations. However, John is now battling extreme PTSD and personal demons. As he attempts a fresh start, he’ll find himself back in the (metaphorical) fire and fighting harder than ever.
All seven episodes of Man on Fire begin streaming on Netflix on April 30, 2026.
