The trailer opens with a chilling scene of a wrapped body descending a chute, setting a dark tone for the vertical prison’s grim world. The sequel introduces a new leader who enforces deadly rules, further exploring themes of hierarchy and survival. The Platform 2 is set to premiere on October 4.
Joining the cast are Natalia Tena and Óscar Jaenada, adding significant star power. Tena, known for her roles in Harry Potter and Game of Thrones, brings a wealth of acting experience, while Jaenada, recognized for his work in Spanish cinema and Hollywood films such as Pirates of the Caribbean and Rambo: Last Blood, enhances the sequel’s narrative depth.
The original The Platform was widely praised, earning three Goya Award nominations and winning Best Special Effects. Its exploration of societal inequality and survival resonated with audiences, generating high anticipation for the sequel.
With its renewed focus on compelling storytelling and a talented cast, The Platform 2 aims to expand on the success of its predecessor while offering a new perspective on its dystopian world.
As the October 4 release date approaches, fans can look forward to additional teasers that will reveal more about the sequel’s plot and character dynamics. The inclusion of Natalia Tena and Óscar Jaenada underscores Netflix’s commitment to engaging narratives and diverse talent.
The original film, released on March 20, 2020, depicts a starkly divided prison where those on higher levels enjoy abundant resources while those below struggle. The film’s open-ended conclusion left the ultimate success of Goreng’s plan and the higher-ups’ concern for those below to the audience’s interpretation.
