The Platform, one of the most-watched non-English Netflix films of all time, took viewers on a disturbing dystopian odyssey through a brutal prison extending over 200 stories underground. In the just-released follow-up The Platform 2, a new inmate leads a rebellion against the Pit’s oppressive food distribution system as a mysterious leader imposes brutal rules for prisoners to abide by — or else. From The Platform director Galder Gaztelu-Urrutia, The Platform 2 stars Milena Smit, Hovik Keuchkerian, Natalia Tena, and Óscar Jaenada.

“We started shooting the film full of excitement, eager to expand the universe of The Platform with a plot full of surprises, obstacles, new characters … and old friends,” Gaztelu-Urrutia told Netflix about the sequel. “We want this second installment to be an exciting physical journey that allows us to delve into the darkness, into that place where we are afraid to look.”

What happens in The Platform 2?

The Vertical Self-Management center, aka the Pit, is back. The vertical prison contains a platform full of food that’s shared among prisoners across hundreds of floors. Those within it, many there by choice — a cruel trade-off they willingly participate in, in exchange for things like clemency or college degrees — have only a few seconds to eat from the platform before it descends to a lower level. 

The prisoners switch floors every few weeks, meaning those who end up on higher floors have a decadent platform full of fresh food. Those on lower floors have only scraps — or worse, empty plates and dead bodies. The inmates have devised a system to enforce fairness: eat the food each prisoner designated as their favorite when applying to the Pit, and nothing else. But it’s easier said than done. What happens when people break the rules unleashes utter chaos, and a powerful ruler emerges to keep everyone in line.
