Galder Gaztelu-Urrutia’s The Platform was a massive hit for Netflix back in 2020, and hotly anticipated sequel The Platform 2 is headed to the streaming service on October 4.
Watch the first clip from The Platform 2 below, which features Milena Smit and Hovik Keuchkerian. Netflix previews, “The names of the leading characters have been revealed. Who is Zamiatin? What motivated Perempuán to enter the platform? Find out in this clip.”
In Galder Gaztelu-Urrutia’s sequel, “A mysterious figure has managed to establish a new law in The Platform, but can justice truly be enforced in hell? And who will enforce it?”
The first film is set inside a vertical prison system, where inmates are assigned to a level and forced to ration food from a platform that moves between the floors. Inmates on high floors eat better than those below, and one man tries to effect change so everyone gets enough.
Rafael reviewed The Platform for us at TIFF, raving in his 4.5-star write-up: “The Platform takes full advantage of its isolated setting and small cast to instead focus on a high concept, a tight script, and sharp dialogue that will make you laugh as often as it will make you think. This is a funny, heartfelt, at times disgusting, yet also thought-provoking sci-fi thriller that reminds of Bong Joon-ho’s Snowpiercer, but with way better food.”
