In March 2020, the dystopian thriller The Shaft became one of the biggest Netflix hypes. More than four years later, the sequel has now taken the streaming charts by storm.
In March 2020, the emerging coronavirus pandemic was a topic that moved the whole world. At the beginning of the virus spread and the first lockdown, Netflix released the Spanish sci-fi thriller The Shaft, which became a massive hit.
Last year, Bilder then gave the first sign of life of the announced sequel, which finally came to Netflix on October 4, 2024. Apparently, the sequel, which has a surprise in store in terms of content, moves the masses in a similar way to part 1. In Netflix’s top 10 films, Der Schacht 2 is currently ranked number 1.
New 1 in the Netflix charts: That’s what The Shaft 2 is about.
The story of the sequel ties in with the concept of The Shaft. This time, the main character Perempuan (Milena Smit) finds herself in a futuristic prison where prisoners are distributed in pairs over 333 floors of a vertical shaft. Once a day, a platform laden with a banquet descends from above. Those who eat well at the top leave little or no food for those below.
To ensure an equal and fair distribution of food, Perempuan wants to join the so-called lawkeepers with her cellmate Zamiatin (Hovik Keuchkerian). This group wants to enforce fair food distribution by force if necessary.
Here is another German trailer for The Shaft 2:
With the Netflix sequel currently becoming a huge success again, fans are surely wondering if The Shaft 3 could come. So far, the streamer has not commissioned another part of the series. Netflix is likely to wait for more numbers before making any decisions regarding The Shaft 3.
