While panned by critics, there seems to be a big market for Bright that Netflix greenlighted a sequel to the film. Will Smith and Joel Edgerton will be reprising their roles and David Ayer will write and direct the second film. Eric Newman and Bryan Unkeless will produce the film. Unfortunately, writer Max Landis won’t be coming back. The streaming service teased the announcement through a faux orc audition for the sequel.
According to Netflix, Bright is considered its highest-viewed original film on the service during its launch and is one of its biggest originals to debut on the service. Netflix claims it’s the No. 1 movie on Netflix in every country with more international than domestic viewers.
