Netflix has revealed an Oct. 4 release date for the anticipated second part of The Platform universe, after the first film was one of the most popular Spanish movies on the streamer.
Ranking fifth in the non-English film top ten category with nearly 83 million views, The Platform was released to huge success in 2019. By July 2020, Netflix said the film had been watched by 56 million households over its first four weeks of release, garnering further popularity over the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown.
The Platform 2 stars Milena Smit (The Snow Girl), Hovik Keuchkerian (Money Heist), Natalia Tena (Game of Thrones) and Óscar Jaenada (Luis Miguel: The Series).
It is directed by Galder Gaztelu-Urrutia (The Platform) and produced by Carlos Juárez, Galder Gaztelu-Urrutia and Raquel Perea, from the Basque Films team.
A sneak peak at the newest installment was released on Thursday, offering fans a gruesome glimpse of what’s to come from the second sci-fi horror movie, where residents are confined to a large, tall building or “Vertical Self-Management Center.”
“As a mysterious leader imposes their rule in the Platform, a new resident becomes embroiled in the battle against this controversial method to fight the brutal feeding system,” a plot synopsis reads. “But when eating from the wrong plate becomes a death sentence, how far would you be willing to go to save your life?”
