There is exciting news for fans of the Netflix shark movie, as it has been confirmed that a sequel is in the works. This action-horror disaster film, which some have even dubbed 'the next Jaws', was released earlier this year and has already gained a cult following. Starring the talented Bérénice Bejo, Under Paris tells the story of a marine biologist named Sophia who must confront her past in order to save the city from a terrifying giant shark named Lilith.
Despite mixed reviews from viewers, with some calling it thrilling and others labeling it as one of the best shark movies ever, the film was a huge success on the streaming platform. Even famous author Stephen King himself admitted to being a fan, stating that he was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the film. However, not everyone was impressed, with some viewers finding it predictable and boring.
But love it or hate it, there's no denying the popularity of Under Paris, which became the most-watched non-English language film on Netflix with over 102 million views. And with the end credits hinting at a potential sequel, many have been eagerly anticipating the news of a follow-up movie.
Well, the wait is over, as it has been confirmed that a sequel is indeed in the works. Director Xavier Gens will once again be at the helm of the project, and we can expect to see some familiar faces in the cast, such as Bérénice Bejo and Nassim Lyes. The film is set to start filming in September 2025, according to lead actress Bérénice in a recent interview, although industry insiders suggest it may be delayed until 2026.
This news has caused quite a stir among viewers, with some excited at the prospect of a sequel that could potentially live up to the hype of the first film. Others, however, are skeptical and are hoping that the sequel won't ruin the legacy of Under Paris. Director Xavier Gens has shared his thoughts on what he would like to see in the sequel, revealing that it will take place in a Paris completely submerged underwater.
Interestingly, Gens also shared that he initially struggled to secure funding for the film, with many in France believing that shark movies were only successful when made by American or Korean filmmakers. However, Netflix took a chance on the project and it has paid off, cementing its place as a must-watch film on the streaming platform.
So, for those who haven't yet seen it, Under Paris is still available to stream on Netflix. And for those eagerly awaiting the sequel, stay tuned for updates on its progress.
