Here's everyone who stars in the Xtreme cast, and where viewers might recognize them from. Directed by Daniel Benmayor, the June 2021 Netflix release follows a retired hitman who seeks revenge against his adoptive brother, a Barcelona gangster. Xtreme has been compared to the John Wick franchise because of its premise and stylized fight sequences.
Xtreme stars professional soccer player Teo García as Maximo, a Barcelona hitman who retires and decides to live a quiet life after a traumatic experience. Two years after that event, he befriends a local drug dealer who is continuously hassled by various crime syndicates. With the assistance of his adoptive sister, the retired hitman tracks down their adoptive brother, who killed his own father in a quest for control of "the conclave," and also ordered the death of Max's son two years ago. Xtreme was written by García, Ivan Ledesma, and professional soccer player Genaro Rodríguez.
Over the years, Netflix has become a popular destination for Spanish filmmakers, evidenced by the success of Netflix TV shows like Money Heist and Elite. In February 2021, the streaming service had a breakout hit with the feature film Below Zero. Even though Xtreme doesn't have one huge name that will appeal to casual streamers, it did become a trending Netflix title upon its initial release.
