Ranking fifth in the non-English film top ten category with nearly 83 million views, The Platform was released to huge success in 2019. By July 2020, Netflix said the film had been watched by 56 million households over its first four weeks of release, garnering further popularity over the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown.
The Platform 2 stars Milena Smit (The Snow Girl), Hovik Keuchkerian (Money Heist), Natalia Tena (Game of Thrones) and Óscar Jaenada (Luis Miguel: The Series).
It is directed by Galder Gaztelu-Urrutia (The Platform) and produced by Carlos Juárez, Galder Gaztelu-Urrutia and Raquel Perea, from the Basque Films team.
