US EditionNetflix Lands ‘Trigger Point’ Drama Starring Joel Edgerton With Straight-To-Series Order From Harrison Query, Jeremy Saulnier & A24
Netflix secured Trigger Point after a competitive bidding war involving Apple TV, ordering an eight-episode series about ex-Special Forces operatives in the criminal underworld.
- In the past month, Netflix won a straight-to-series order for Trigger Point starring Joel Edgerton, securing the package over Apple TV with an eight-episode greenlight.
- Harrison Query's spec script for Trigger Point landed at A24 earlier this year after a seven-way bidding war, with Jeremy Saulnier attached to direct and Edgerton joining before A24 shopped the project; Query will executive produce alongside Saulnier and Joe Hipps.
- According to its logline, the eight-episode season follows former Tier One operators selling skills to criminals and the FBI agent hunting them, with Edgerton as Red and producers including Harrison Query, Jeremy Saulnier, Joe Hipps, Patrick McDonald, and Katie Giarla.
- The win positions Netflix to strengthen its scripted slate amid an active fall TV market with several big bidding wars, while Trigger Point joins A24's expanding TV roster recently.
- Edgerton is currently getting awards attention for Train Dreams and could earn more Netflix roles if Trigger Point succeeds, while Harrison Query maintains momentum with this year's Code Black sale to Amazon.
