A sequel to Bird Box, one of Netflix’s most critically acclaimed films of all time, was released nearly four and a half years after the original airing taped, starring Sandra Bullock.

The original Bird Box, first released in December 2018, follows the story of a woman (played by Sandra Bullock) who travels with her children for two days while wearing blindfolds to avoid contact with an unknown entity that is destroying the world’s population.
