And its director Chris Williams also has another separate movie lined up at Netflix.
sequel. The second movie is expected to bring back the first film’s leading duo, Jacob Holland and his adoptive daughter Maisie Brumble . According to THR, the first movie was a hit for Netflix; the most-viewed animated movie in the streamer’s 25-year history, and the second-longest time in Netflix’s Top 10 for the year at seven straight weeks.
“I never thought beyond the first movie. We were not planning for a series,” said Williams, who added that Netflix had been incredibly kind to him while making the first movie. Though the first movie ended pretty neatly, he did offer up the idea of a sequel showing Jacob and Maisie now having to truly adjust to being a family. “Suddenly Jacob is a parent, a parent to an especially willful kid, right? [...] So the idea of the challenges of this new family became interesting to me.
Both projects are being developed by Williams side by side, though at least one of those will end up being co-directed bystory head Owen Sullivan. As far as which one comes first, that’s up in the air, but should things go Williams’ way, he’ll be able to tout both movies on his resume in the near future. “The intention is to ultimately make them both.”
