The Platform 2 (Spanish: El hoyo 2) is a 2024 Spanish satirical science fiction film directed by Galder Gaztelu-Urrutia. A follow-up to The Platform (2019), it stars Milena Smit and Hovik Keuchkerian. It is scheduled to be released in October 2024.[1]

Plot

The film returns to the world of "The Platform," a large, tower-style "Vertical Self-Management Center" prison that houses various criminals. The dozens of floors house two occupants per floor and a free-floating platform delivers food to them on a daily schedule.

Cast

Production

The original film was released on Netflix in March 2020. Subsequently, the film received a surge in popularity during the COVID-19 pandemic and the company revealed the film had been watched by 56 million households over its first four weeks of release, among the most-ever for one of their original films.[3]

Discussions of a sequel emerged shortly after the film's success in 2020. In May 2023, Netflix reported the beginning of filming of the follow-up with Galder Gaztelu-Urrutia returning as director and starring Hovik Keuchkerian and Milena Smit.[4]

Shooting locations included the BEC in Barakaldo.[5]

Release

The film was selected for screening in the 'Culinary Zinema' section of the 72nd San Sebastián International Film Festival.[6] It is set to be released on Netflix on October 4, 2024.[1]
