The films are based on the graphic novel series of the same name created by Greg Ruka and Leandro Fernández.

When The Old Guard was released on Netflix in 2020, it soon became one of the streamer's most successful original films.

When someone discovers their secret and threatens to expose them they must fight to save each other, as well as a new immortal who's just been awakened.

The Old Guard 2 is set to be directed by Victoria Mahoney with a screenplay penned by Ruka. There is currently no release date for the sequel yet.,The project will likely begin filming soon.
