As a seasoned film critic with over three decades of experience under my belt, I must say that the upcoming sequel to The Platform has piqued my interest significantly. Having witnessed the evolution of cinema from VHS tapes to streaming platforms, I can confidently state that The Platform was one of those rare gems that truly stood out in the sea of content available today.
Prepare your knife and fork, I’m about to delve into a sneak peek at the upcoming dystopian thriller sequel The Platform 2, brought to us by Netflix Geeked Week. As a continuation of one of the most successful titles on their streaming service, The Platform 2 invites us back to a place most would rather avoid – the “Vertical Self-Management Center”, a tower-like prison where inmates reside on various levels, with a platform laden with food descending from the top floor to the bottom.
You can check out the newly released clip and the official synopsis for The Platform 2 below.
In the town called ‘The Platform’, an enigmatic ruler establishes their authority, which sparks opposition among its inhabitants, particularly a newcomer, due to a contentious strategy aimed at overthrowing a harsh feeding system. However, when choosing the wrong dish can lead to death, how far would one go to preserve their own life?
In the director’s chair once more for the sequel is Galder Gaztelu-Urrutia. This new installment will feature a fresh set of unfortunate characters, including Milena Smit (from “The Snow Girl”), Hovik Keuchkerian (“Money Heist”), Natalia Tena (“Game of Thrones”), and Óscar Jaenada (“Luis Miguel: The Series”). These individuals find themselves in dire straits as they become ensnared by the titular platform.
