The Platform 2 teaser: The fight for food becomes more frightful

The teaser for the sequel to the 2019 Spanish social science fiction horror film, The Platform, was unveiled by Netflix on Thursday. Titled The Platform 2, Milena Smit and Hovik Keuchkerian star in the second instalment which is also helmed by the director of the original, Galder Gaztelu-Urrutia.

The teaser starts by showing a corpse, tied up in a blanket, being thrown down the platforms. As the blanket unwinds, we see the prisoners taking different parts of the butchered corpse for their consumption. The rest of the teaser shows their fight for food becoming uglier and more frightful.

The film is set in a dystopian prison where the rules for food intake are extremely intense and unfair. The official logline of The Platform 2 reads, "A mysterious figure has managed to establish a new law in The Platform, but can justice truly be enforced in hell? And who will enforce it?"

The Platform revolves around a prison where inmates are fed on a descending platform, those on the upper levels take more than their fair share while those below are left to starve on scraps, and one man decides to change the system.

The Platform 2 is all set to premiere on Netflix on October 4.
