Stephen Amell's Sci-Fi Sequel Tops Global Streaming Charts

Code 8: Part II, starring cousins Robbie and Stephen Amell, is a popular movie on Netflix. It is the sequel to the 2019 science fiction film Code 8, which followed the story of Connor (played by Robbie Amell), a young man with superpowers who helps a group of criminals to earn money for his ill mother. In this new movie, Connor, along with Sirena Gulamgaus, Altair Vincent, and Jean Yoon, finds himself caught in a dangerous situation involving a corrupt police officer and a teenager.

Netflix recently announced their Top 10 English-language movies globally for the week of February 26 through March 3. Code 8: Part II has claimed the top spot, becoming the most-watched movie in its debut week. With 20 million viewers tuning in, the movie has been streamed for a total of 33.4 million hours, surpassing other popular Netflix originals like Tyler Perry's Mea Culpa and Adam Sandler's Spaceman.

Now that the movie has become a hit on Netflix, fans are wondering if there will be a third installment in the Code 8 franchise. The ending of Code 8: Part II suggests a potential sequel where Connor faces off against Garrett Kelton, played by Stephen Amell. This hint indicates that Netflix may be setting the stage for Code 8: Part III, which could be officially approved soon if the new movie keeps its popularity.

One positive aspect for the future of the franchise is that the sequel has outperformed the first movie. Code 8 only made $157,209 during its initial release, and it didn't make it to the Top 10 on Netflix. However, the growing success of the franchise suggests that a third movie could perform even better.

Code 8 has landed on the Netflix Top 10 this week, taking the No. 4 spot just below Part II.

One factor that could influence Netflix's decision to approve a sequel is the cast of Code 8: Part II. The Amell cousins have already worked together on this franchise twice, showing their willingness to collaborate. However, Stephen Amell is also set to star in the pilot of the Suits spinoff Suits: L.A. If this show gets picked up, it may affect his schedule and possibly delay his return for the sequel.

Editor's P/S:

Code 8: Part II's success on Netflix is a testament to the film's gripping storyline, talented cast, and engaging action sequences. The movie's popularity among viewers suggests that there is indeed a future for the Code 8 franchise on the streaming platform. The hint of a potential sequel at the end of the film has left fans eagerly anticipating a third installment.

However, the decision to greenlight a sequel ultimately rests with Netflix, who will consider factors such as the film's continued popularity, the availability of the cast, and the potential for a successful follow-up. While the Amell cousins have expressed interest in continuing the franchise, Stephen Amell's involvement in the Suits: L.A. spinoff may present a scheduling conflict. Nonetheless, the positive reception of Code 8: Part II and the growing success of the franchise overall make a third movie a promising possibility.
