“What are you hungry for?” Surprise! Netflix has been developing a sequel to the hit Spanish lo-fi sci-fi film The Platform from 2019 (it landed on Netflix in 2020). It’s one of the best capitalism-is-terrible films of the modern era. Netflix has debuted the first look teaser trailer for The Platform 2, once again directed by the same Spanish filmmaker Galder Gaztelu-Urrutia who made the original film (he’s been working on this in secret for the last 5 years). As a mysterious leader imposes their rule in the Platform, another resident becomes embroiled in the battle against this controversial method to help fight the brutal feeding system. But when eating from the wrong plate becomes a death sentence, how far would you be willing to go to save your life? Milena Smit and Hovik Keuchkerian star in the second installment of the dystopian sci-fi horror movie, with Óscar Jaenada, Natalia Tena, Bastien Ughetto, and Tadashi Ito. Not too much to see in this teaser so far, but at least we can all get excited a sequel will be landing to watch in a few months.
Here’s the first teaser trailer (+ poster) for Galder Gaztelu-Urrutia’s The Platform 2, direct from YouTube:
