A new, much longer trailer for the upcoming Netflix post-apocalyptic spinoff, Bird Box Barcelona, offers further insight into what audiences can expect when we are once again dropped into a world where blindfolds are the only protection from a mysterious force. “Fear the ones who see” warns the latest footage from Bird Box Barcelona, which will act as a companion piece to the streaming platform’s hugely successful first outing starring Sandra Bullock. Check out the newly released trailer for Bird Box Barcelona below.
From the producers of the global phenomenon, Bird Box, comes Bird Box Barcelona, an expansion of the film that riveted audiences in 2018. After a mysterious force decimates the world’s population, Sebastian must navigate his own survival journey through the desolate streets of Barcelona. As he forms uneasy alliances with other survivors, and they try to escape the city, an unexpected and even more sinister threat grows.
“The things take our fear…and twist it,” one character explains as Bird Box Barcelona reveals how another part of the world reacts to the mysterious force throws humanity into chaos. A sinister new threat grows in this Barcelona-set story that expands the story of the blockbuster Bird Box.
Written and directed by Álex and David Pastor, Bird Box Barcelona stars Mario Casas (The Innocent, Cross the Line) as Sebastián, Alejandra Howard (The Wasteland, Fatima) as Anna, Georgina Campbell (Barbarian, All My Friends Hate Me) as Claire, Naila Schuberth (Blackout) as Sofia, Leonardo Sbaraglia (Wandering Heart, Today We Fix the World) as Padre Esteban, and Diego Calva (Babylon, Narcos: Mexico) as Octavio.
Bird Box Barcelona Is Just the Beginning of the Horror Franchise
Based on the 2014 novel of the same name by Josh Malerman, the first Bird Box introduces audiences to a world where a strange force that cannot be looked upon has destroyed the population. Led by Academy Award winner Sandra Bullock as Malorie Hayes, Bird Box was met with mixed reviews, but proved to be a major hit with audiences, even becoming the most-watched movie on Netflix within 28 days of release.
Thus, a new horror franchise was born, with Bird Box Barcelona just the first project being planned by Netflix to tell a tale alongside the Sandra Bullock-led story. Bird Box Barcelona has since been described as “the first of multiple local-language Bird Box spinoffs,” with producer Chris Morgan teasing the plans for the Bird Box franchise calling the first movie “just the first chapter of this global, apocalyptic event. As we were developing the original film, we often discussed what would be happening at the same time in different countries around the world.”
“The events that we see Malorie/Sandra Bullock endure in the original Bird Box are happening at the same time that Sebastian/Mario Casas is going through his journey,” fellow producer Dylan Clark adds. “Being in Barcelona gave us a chance to see how surviving this intense threat in an iconic city poses different challenges.”
Bird Box Barcelona is scheduled to debut on Netflix on July 14, 2023.
