‘Code 8: Part 2’ To Premiere on Netflix in February 2024

Picture: Netflix Netflix will exclusively release the long-awaited follow-up to the hit sci-fi film Code 8. Titled Code 8: Part II, here’s your first look at the upcoming sequel and when you’ll get to check it out. Starting its life as a YouTube short, an eventual full-feature film went on to release in 2019, but it wasn’t until it hit Netflix in April 2020 that the movie took off, spending over two weeks alone in the US top 10s. Riding this newfound success, a TV series was commissioned for the now-defunct streaming service Quibi. Although the status of that particular project is unclear, soon after, we learned in June 2021 that Netflix would be the home of a brand-new sequel. Ted Sarandos announced the news during his keynote session at the Banff World Media Festival, marking Netflix’s first original Canadian English-language feature acquisition. XYZ Films is again behind the sequel and serves as the production company/distributor behind Netflix’s I Came By and Havoc, with the former released in 2023 and the latter scheduled for 2024. Canadian production company Collective Pictures, headed by Jeff Chan, is also behind the movie. PLAYFIGHT VFX is working on the titles VFX. Chris Paré, Jeff Chan, Sherren Lee, and Jesse LaVercombe serve as writers on the sequel. Jeff Chan returns to direct the sequel. What will happen in Code 8: Part II? The main synopsis for the sequel was given during the initial announcement: “After witnessing the murder of her brother and subsequent cover up, a teenage girl with abnormal abilities seeks the help of an ex-con (Robbie Amell) and his former partner-in-crime (Stephen Amell). Together, they face a unit of corrupt police officers who deploy advanced robotic technology to prevent themselves from being exposed.” A slightly different synopsis has since been provided: “A teenage girl, fighting to get justice for her slain brother at the hands of corrupt police officers, becomes a target and enlists the help of an ex-con and his former partner-in-crime. Together, they face a highly regarded and well protected police sergeant who will use every tool to prevent himself from being exposed.” Code 8: Part II First Look Coming at Geeked Week If you’re wondering when we’ll next get some new first looks at the movie, the movie was confirmed among the lineup for Netflix’s third annual Geeked Week between November 6th and November 12th, 2023.
