Netflix Horror Film The Platform Gets Legitimate Sequel

One of the best Netflix horror movies is getting a sequel, and the streaming service has released a couple of teaser images as filming begins.

The Platform, released in 2020, was a Spanish horror hit on the, um, platform, taking place in a vertical prison complex where food rations steadily moved down from the top on an elevator, leaving those lower down with ever tiny leftovers on which to subsist. So far, so analogous to a class.

Netflix took to Twitter to show off the images for Platform 2, featuring the film’s new leads in the same kind of prison cell viewers will recognise from the original film:

The sequel seems to have a brand-new cast, featuring The Night Manager’s Hoik Keuchkerian, and Tin&Tina’s Milena Smit – and should help to sate those somehow still hungry after the nauseating events of the first film. There’s no specific release date as of yet, or even a plot summary, but with production kicking off there should hopefully be news in the coming months.

Netflix seems in the business of horror these days, a number of new indie horror and slasher flicks throughout May.

If you want a real fright, though, just wait until that password crackdown kicks in…
