Summer may still be weeks away, but temperatures are rising on Netflix, thanks to Man on Fire. Yahya Abdul-Mateen II plays John Creasy, who was once a CIA paramilitary officerknown for surviving even the most desolate situations. He attempts a fresh start while battling extreme PTSD and personal demons, but soon finds himself back in the fire, fighting harder than ever. The seven-episode adaptation of A.J. Quinnell’s book series also features Billie Boullet, Alice Braga, Scoot McNairy, and Bobby Cannavale.
