The Platform 2

The Platform 2 (El hoyo 2) is an upcoming Spanish satirical science fiction film, directed by Galder Gaztelu-Urrutia and scheduled to be released in October 2024. The film is a follow-up to 2019's The Platform about a large tower-style prison and stars Milena Smit, Hovik Keuchkerian, Natalia Tena, and Óscar Jaenada.

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.

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.

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.

Shooting locations included the BEC in Barakaldo.

In July 2024, Netflix released the first trailer for the film and announced an October 4, 2024 release date.
