If you look at them, you go mad and kill yourself.

The premise was simple: Earth has been invaded by mysterious creatures. Hot on the heels of the buzz around John Krasinski’s A Quiet Place, Bird Box was likened to that movie, switched hearing for vision. The movie arrived on Netflix in 2018, starring Sandra Bullock and was a storming success for the streaming channel. We don't.When Josh Malerman’s debut novel Bird Box landed in 2014, it was a critical and financial success and quickly found itself optioned for a movie, despite being apparently ‘unfilmable’. Do we really wanna make international treasure Sandra Bullock and those two adorable kids go through all that again? No. Supplies and shelter from the monsters surely won't last forever, right?īut then again, all that sounds a bit bleak. If a sequel is ever written and picked up by Netflix, it could potentially tell the story of life inside the sanctuary. As for an ~actual~ sequel to Bird Box? Well, as we know from the end of the film, the survivors may be safe in the sanctuary but the monsters are still a looming threat. While 'Bird Box' focused on the loss of sight, 'Black Mad Wheel' is about "a group of musicians conscripted by the US government to track down the source of a strange and debilitating sound." Basically, instead of not being able to see for fear of dying, this one is all about not being able to hear.īut that's a completely different story that doesn't involve Malorie and her kids. His 2017 follow up book is titled 'Black Mad Wheel' and while it's not a sequel to 'Bird Box', it does run along the same sort of 'sensory' lines.

In case you didn't know, Bird Box is an adaptation of Josh Malerman's 2014 novel of the same name.

Will there be a Bird Box sequel on Netflix?
