As a seasoned movie enthusiast with over three decades of film-watching under my belt, I must say that the prospect of a third installment of “The Platform” franchise has me both intrigued and slightly apprehensive. Having survived countless cinematic dystopias, I’ve learned to savor the dark delights they offer while keeping a wary eye out for the next trapdoor.
The sci-fi horror sequel “The Platform” is currently leading the box office charts, leaving viewers craving more of this dystopian story. After two viewings, though, one might ask if there’s more to come. Indeed, what’s next on the menu could very well be The Platform 3, following the success and shock value of its predecessor, “The Platform 2”. Director Galder Gaztelu-Urrutia has confirmed that plans for a third film are in the works.
During a recent conversation, the filmmaker expressed his enthusiasm for delving deeper into “additional inquiries” if given the opportunity, as the success of the upcoming sequel to The Platform 3 will determine its continuation.
We’re keen on proceeding, but our ability to do so hinges on the success of The Platform 2. This world can be challenging, but if everything goes smoothly, we’ll definitely have a chance. We’re eager to ask more questions and eventually provide answers about who built the Pit, where it is located, when it was constructed, and why.
Currently, “The Platform 3” hasn’t received approval from Netflix yet. However, given the widespread appeal of both the initial film and the second installment, it seems inevitable that Netflix will soon compel us all to revisit the brutal environment of the “Vertical Self-Management Center” once more.
The Platform 2 Has Risen to the Top of the Netflix Charts
Debuted in the year 2020, the initial installment of “The Platform” was masterfully directed by Galder Gaztelu-Urrutia, with a screenplay penned by David Desola and Pedro Rivero. This gripping film provides a chilling glimpse into the unforgiving world known as “The Pit.” At its initial release, it received widespread critical praise, boasting an appetizing 80% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, a popular review aggregator site. The movie was not only applauded by critics but also resonated deeply with audiences, being viewed by a staggering 56 million households within its first month and accumulating a total of 82.8 million views. This made it one of the most-watched original movies ever on Netflix.
Director Galder Gaztelu-Urrutia once again takes the reins for “The Platform 2”, a follow-up that revolves around fresh characters who find themselves trapped in a grim, dystopian reality. The ensemble cast includes Milena Smit (“The Snow Girl”), Hovik Keuchkerian (“Money Heist”), Natalia Tena (“Game of Thrones”), and Óscar Jaenada (“Luis Miguel: The Series”). For more details about the sequel’s plot, please read the official synopsis provided below.
In the city of Platform, an enigmatic figure takes charge, sparking conflict over their unconventional approach to combating a harsh food distribution system. A recent arrival finds themselves entangled in this struggle. However, when choosing the wrong dish could lead to execution, how far would you push yourself to survive?
While not receiving the same praise from critics as its predecessor (The Platform 2 currently holds a score of 47% on Rotten Tomatoes), the sequel has still garnered significant popularity among viewers, climbing to the top of Netflix’s global chart in no time. Given that streaming viewership is paramount, it’s quite possible that audiences will request more servings of The Platform 3 soon enough. Whether we’re ready for it or not.
