Bird Box 2 Now in Development at Netflix


There is little doubt that Bird Box was one of the biggest surprise hits from Netflix in 2018. But what are the chances that the Sandra Bullock film will actually get a sequel? The author who wrote the novel of the same name has just confirmed that Bird Box 2 is currently in development at the streaming giant.

Josh Malerman is the writer behind Bird Box and he recently spoke to Inverse where he revealed that Netflix is actively working on a sequel to the movie.

"I can't say much, but I can say that it is in development," Malerman said. He also admitted that he isn't used to keeping things a huge secret but he's willing to go along with it.

"Sometimes it's weird, all this secrecy, but I'm game," Malerman said.

For now, it's safe to assume that Bird Box 2 will focus on Malorie and her children and on how they are dealing with living in the forest. Hopefully, we'll get more details about the sequel soon.

The second movie isn't the only thing that Malerman is working on right now. It was previously confirmed that he is writing a follow-up to the Bird Box novel which will be titled Malorie. Interestingly, Malerman was more confident about sharing details about the upcoming book.

"Malorie opens at the school for the blind, which is where the movie ends," he said. "Then it jumps a few years later, and it really takes off 10 years after that."

We're loving the idea that the book will feature more time jumps again. Needless to say, it's good to know that we'll be getting a new film and another novel as well.

Netflix's Bird Box sequel has not yet been given a release date. Stay tuned for more updates on this story.
