Bird Box Barcelona: Netflix continues horror hit
Just before Christmas 2018, Netflix released its new horror flick Bird Box – Close your eyes worldwide via the in-house streaming service. In the film, a group of survivors hole up in a house after a mysterious force has driven most of the people to suicide. Because these demons apparently take possession of their victims through simple eye contact and drive them insane, the survivors blindfold themselves to protect themselves from an untimely death whenever they come into contact with the outside world.
Bird Box turned out to be a tremendous success and was streamed to over 89 million households within the first six months (source: Spotlight: Movie). Since then, fans have been waiting for a sequel – and that wish will soon come true. As part of the release of a new teaser trailer, Netflix once again stated that with Bird Box Barcelona on July 14, 2023 at 9:00 a.m a spin-off film ends up in the subscription. The corresponding trailer can be found at the top of the article.

What is Bird Box Barcelona about?
Bird Box Barcelona producers seem to want to build on the success of its predecessor. Because the spin-off plays at about the same time as the original and once again tells the story of a group of survivors trying to escape the mysterious force by leaving the city.
Below the YouTube video the positive comments from the fans are piling up. Most are happy that those responsible have decided to make a spin-off instead of pursuing a real sequel:
