Summary
Under Paris 2gets an update from director Xavier Gens, after the first movie became a global Netflix hit. Paris is besieged by killer sharks in Gens’ Netflix movie, which rocketed to the top of the streamer’s global movie chart after its release on June 5. Stephen King himself can be counted among the many who enjoyedUnder Paris, after the horror author posted his approval on X, helping bolster the reputation of a movie that, at first glance, might look like just another silly killer shark thriller.
WithUnder Parisdominating the Netflix global movie chart, and drawing the attention of tastemakers like King, director Gens offered an update on a possibleUnder Paris 2, indicating that talks may soon begin about developing a sequel. Check out his remarks below (viaVariety):
Right now, as of today, we’re not on it but there’s a chance that we’ll be discussing it soon. If there is a sequel, it will take place in a Paris that is entirely submerged underwater.
Under Paris Sets Up A Sequel That Expands The Shark Action Beyond France
TheUnder Parisendingindeed sets up the watery sequel teased by Gens, as efforts to kill the sharks with explosives and bullets result in submerged World War II shells being set off, causing Paris to be deluged. Gens suggests that things will only get worse inUnder Paris 2, as the city is completely underwater, and no doubt swarming with sharks.
But Paris isn’t the only city potentially in danger from teeming swarms of sharks inUnder Paris 2. As teased by theUnder Parisend-credits scene, queen shark Lilith and her offspring are released from the city by the movie’s apocalyptic ending, and wind up spreading across the globe, attacking London, and eventually the United States, as well as other locations. That ending doesn’t just set up one potential sequel, but an entire killer shark franchise set in locales all around planet Earth.
Under Parisnotched 40.9 million views in its first week on Netflix.
It’s yet to be seen whether Netflix will commit to multiple sequels after a potentialUnder Paris 2, but streaming numbers for the first film indicate they could have an ongoing proposition on their hands. AnUnder Parissequel may take things to the next level by submerging the entire city, creating a perfect environment for more shark action. But sinking Paris beneath the waves might only be the start of the disaster movie carnage to come.
