“This is a new story with new characters but with a premise that already was attractive: You need to cover your eyes outdoors,” he says. “I think what will really attract fans from the first installment is that we, as fans, were left waiting to know more.”
“We wanted to know why they couldn’t see, why this was happening,” continues Casas, 37. “I can’t explain a lot, but this new film gets to develop the story further — this will catch you until the end, which is very different from the ending of the previous film. We will find out more about what is hiding behind the blindfolds.”

Bullock starred in Netflix’s original 2018 hit, which followed her character Malorie in an apocalyptic world as she tries to save her family from mysterious monsters that make humans commit violent acts if they look at them.
While Bullock does not star in the new film, it is described as an “expansion” of the first movie, based on author Josh Malerman’s 2014 novel of the same name; Netflix’s Tudum explained the new film “takes place at the same time asBird Box.”
Malerman published a sequel to his original novel in 2020 titledMalorie.
