Today sees the launch of sci-fi film Bird Box Barcelona, which follows Netflix’s 2018 hit. If all goes normally, it will become the biggest movie of the summer on the streaming platform.
Bird Box became one of the first major Netflix-produced movie hits at Christmas 2018. To date, it is the third most successful Netflix film ever and the second most successful sci-fi film after Dont’t Look Up.
Today you get answers. Answers to what happened in other parts of the world as Sandra Bullock battled the effects of a mysterious threat in the film. Gradually, humanity fell into a madness that led to suicide. The only remedy: the eyes had to be blindfolded. This plot is transposed to the Spanish coastal city five years later in the spin-off Bird Box Barcelona.
What is Bird Box Barcelona about?
Bird Box Barcelona is set in Spain, as the name suggests. The spin-off aims to tell what happened in Europe when the world society collapsed. The producers of the original film are returning for this. However, Sandra Bullock as the leading actress and Susanne Bier as the director are not part of the cast.

The plot: while an unseen force drives the world’s population to suicide on sight, Sebastian, a Spaniard, makes his way on the streets of Barcelona with his young daughter Anna. To survive, they form a shaky alliance with other survivors. But on their way to a safe haven, the invisible creatures are soon no longer their only problem.
Compared to the first film, Bird Box Barcelona thinks the invisible threat much further ahead. Moreover, the spin-off contains a twist that lifts the plot from Sandra Bullock’s story.
