Picture: Joel Edgerton will star in Trigger Point – A24/Netflix
In December 2025, Netflix won a seven-way bidding war for a brand new A24 series, Trigger Point. Starring Joel Edgerton as Red, the 8-part series is currently eyed to begin filming in November 2026. The remaining details are limited, but here’s everything we know so far about Trigger Point on Netflix.
Trigger Point is an upcoming Netflix Original action-crime series created by series showrunner Harrison Query (Heads of State) and will be directed by Jeremy Saulnier (Rebel Ridge). The pair is also executive producers on the project, alongside A24’s Joe Hipps via Cut To. Patrick McDonald is also an executive producer, and Katie Giarla serves as co-executive producer.
A24 is responsible for producing popular Netflix series, including the Emmy Award-winning Beef, and other comedy shows such as Mo and Survival of the Thickest.

There will be eight episodes in total.
Runtime has yet to be revealed.
When is Trigger Point coming to Netflix?
If the filming schedule is correct, then Trigger Point is most likely to land on Netflix sometime in 2028. There’s a chance the series could arrive on Netflix in 2027, but if there’s lengthy post-production, that dramatically reduces the chances of a 2027 release.
We’ll expect to learn more early next year when Netflix releases its 2027 TV and Film Slate.
