The creator of last year’s highly acclaimed action film, “The Shadow Strays,” has officially announced plans for a follow-up. Originally released in October, director Kimo Stamboel masterminded “The Shadow Strays,” an intense and violent action-thriller that revolves around a 17-year-old assassin who must confront her enigmatic superiors after they abduct an 11-year-old boy. The streaming platform was significantly boosted by the film’s success, prompting Tjahjanto to announce on social media that a sequel is now being developed.

The director recently posted on X/Twitter, announcing the return of “Shadows” with a sneak peek image that we’ll tentatively refer to as “The Stray Shadows 2“. Details about the movie are being kept secret for now, but director Timo Tjahjanto has previously hinted at plans for a sequel to “The Stray Shadows“. In fact, he’s revealed that he’s designed the story as a two-part series and is excited to revisit the dark world of the young assassin and the secretive organization called “the Shadow”.

He mentioned, “We gain so little insight into who these Shadows are or their organization’s history. Questions like what motivates them remain largely unanswered. We hinted at this somewhat in the ending of the first movie. I’m excited about the potential interest for a sequel to this film and hope to delve deeper into their story.
