Glen Powell's 'Hit Man' Netflix Film Getting TV Series Adaptation

Glen Powell is taking his Netflix film Hit Man to the small screen. The 37-year-old actor's 2024 movie is being adapted into a television series for Netflix, according to Deadline.

Stephen Falk, the creator behind You're the Worst, has been tapped to write the new series. Powell, who co-wrote, directed, and produced the original film, will serve as an executive producer on the potential show alongside co-writer Richard Linklater.

Details about the TV adaptation remain under lock and key, though the series is expected to draw from the same narrative foundation as the film. The movie follows a buttoned-up professor who uncovers an unexpected knack for posing as a contract killer. His world shifts when a client enters the picture, leading to an entanglement of lies, charm, and mixed-up identities inspired by true events.

This marks Powell's second television venture as a producer. He previously developed Chad Powers for Hulu, a comedy series that has been greenlit for a second season.

Beyond this project, Powell has another comedy in the pipeline. The Comeback King, which he co-wrote with Judd Apatow, is scheduled for theatrical release in February 2027. Powell and Apatow are producing the film alongside Dan Cohen through Powell's Barnstorm production company.
