We have great news to share for fans of the hit French shark movie Under Paris. An Under Paris 2 is reportedly in development at Netflix, which means we're in for another crazy underwater adventure!

The first film was a smash hit when it landed on Netflix back in June 2024, eventually earning the title of the second most popular non-English movie on Netflix, right behind the epic monster film Troll. That's why it's not completely surprising that a sequel is in the works.

Also, the star of Under Paris, Bérénice Bejo, spilled in a recent interview with LA Tribune that production on a sequel will start in September 2025. However, there wasn't any confirmation at the time that an Under Paris 2 was actually in the works. Now, it seems that we have that confirmation.

According to Variety, French filmmaker Xavier Gens, who was behind the first movie, is currently working on the sequel.

So, thanks to Netflix, we have a juicy shark horror to watch for the first time in ages. Xavier Gens’ Under Paris is a breath of fresh air in the genre, which has been contaminated by poor campy movies in recent years. You don’t necessarily have to be a fan of shark movies to enjoy this one, as it’s so much more than that and offers something for every kind of audience. Set in the Seine in Paris, the cast of Under Paris deserves a huge round of applause. Here’s the leading cast that appears in this new Netflix movie.
