Sequels on Netflix: Sequels in the works?

Things are going well for Netflix at the end of the year, with hit Carry-On off to a great start, with more than 40 million full views worldwide since its launch.

This Die Hard parody starring Taron Egerton follows a young air security agent who must face the blackmail of a mysterious passenger who threatens to smuggle a dangerous package onto a plane on Christmas Eve…

With fairly positive reviews and an average rating of 3.5 out of 5 on AlloCiné, Carry On appealed to French audiences who are particularly fond of action films. If the script is calibrated to appeal to the generation that experienced the 80s and 90s, the popularity of its lead actor and its effective script allowed it to attract a wider audience.

A successful bet that will allow Carry On to become Netflix’s new action saga, like Die Hard three decades ago, and Taron Egerton to become the new Bruce Willis. Asked about the possibility of continuationA key stakeholder responded as follows:

“This sequel has to meet a number of extraordinary criteria. It would take a truly innovative and creative idea to make the idea of ​​a sequel worthwhile. But yes, why not. ”

Especially since Carry-On means two things in English: “hand luggage” or “To be continued”... So we can very well imagine a second part that follows Ethan’s new adventures.

Why don’t we believe for a second

It must be said that Netflix, not too long ago, made us accustomed to announcing comprehensive sequels to these big-budget films. No news since then. We think, for example, The Gray Man (2022) with Ryan Gosling and Chris Evans and The Red Notice, carried by Dwayne Johnson and Ryan Reynolds, two of the most watched works on the streaming platform.

We’re also awaiting word on Tyler Rake 3 with Chris Hemsworth, which has also been announced but isn’t set to shoot anytime soon. What can we say about The Old Guard 2 with Charlize Theron, which is completely finished but for who knows what reason staying warm on Netflix’s private servers?

With all that said, it’s hard to imagine Netflix ordering a sequel to a movie with a pretty closed ending. Sure, Taron Egerton’s character has officially joined the police force and resigned from his post at LAX, but do we really want to know what happens to him after that?
