Netflix is preparing to create a TV series based on the novel "Man on Fire".

Netflix subscribers are in for a treat as the streaming giant is bringing the thrilling action of A.J. Quinnell's 1980 novel, Man on Fire, and 1992's The Perfect Kill to their screens! People might remember Man on Fire famously portrayed by Scott Glenn in the 1987 Italian feature, and then again by Denzel Washington in 2004, where Creasy, a burnt-out ex-CIA operative, reluctantly accepted a job as a bodyguard for the daughter of a wealthy family. With an eight-episode, straight-to-series order, the series will follow Creasy as he avenges the death of his only friend, while protecting his fallen buddy's daughter from the dangers that surround her. Writer, executive producer and showrunner Kyle Killen, who was also recently involved in the Halo live-action series at Paramount+, is leading the series that comes from New Regency Productions and Chernin Entertainment, the same teams that made the 2004 Denzel Washington film. Casting news is yet to come, but fans can look forward to seeing Denzel Washington reunite with co-star Dakota Fanning in the highly-anticipated Equalizer 3, coming to theaters September 1. Even Denzel's son, John David Washington, an accomplished actor in his own right, looks up to his father's body of work. John David recently remembered seeing his dad perform at Delacorte Theater in Central Park, saying it was like a "magic trick" to him as a kid. Netflix is providing an exciting opportunity for fans to enjoy these stories in a new format, and it's sure to be an experience you won't want to miss!
