The producers of the culturally impacting film Bird Box are continuing the story of the mysterious phenomenon threatening the existence of mankind. Bird Box Barcelona expands on the 2018 Netflix film, starring Sandra Bullock, Trevante Rhodes, Sarah Paulson, and Lil Rel Howery.
Written by Josh Malerman, who also wrote the screenplay for the original Bird Box, David Pastor, and Alex Pastor, the sequel follows Sebastian as he navigates survival through the desolate streets of Barcelona, Spain and forms uneasy alliances with other survivors while the threatening entity morphs into a nearly unconquerable force.
David and Alex Pastor are co-directors on the sci-fi pic, starring Georgina Campbell (Barbarian), Mario Casas (The Innocent), Alejandra Howard (The Wasteland), and Naila Schuberth (Blackout).

The original Bird Box directed by Susanne Bier (The First Lady) introduced audiences to an intangible creature who causes people to delete themselves when they see it. In order to survive, the people are forced to navigate land and water while blindfolded. The phenomenal concept incited several real-life challenges and sparked cultural conversations about possible apocalyptic events back in 2018.
Netflix enjoyed the success of the film reporting that 80 million households viewed Bird Box. It also created demand for a sequel which was likely delayed by another sweeping global phenomenon that took the world by storm in 2020.
