Bird Box Barcelona spin-off coming to Netflix – watch the teaser
A surprise spin-off to the hit 2018 Netflix film is just around the corner.
Almost five years after Bird Box first captivated audiences on Netflix, it's now time to return to the post-apocalyptic world of that film as a spin-off is not only on the way, but is in fact just around the corner.
Netflix has officially announced Bird Box Barcelona, a spin-off to the hit 2018 movie which follows new characters in a new setting, but in the same world which has become overrun by entities which cause anyone who looks at them to kill themselves.
The official synopsis for the new film says: "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 movie arrives on Netflix globally on 14th July 2023 and stars Spanish actors Mario Casas and Alejandra Howard, alongside Mexican Babylon actor Diego Calva and British Black Mirror star Georgina Campbell.
