The highly anticipated sequel to sci-fi horror “The Platform” has set a release date, with the residents of The Pit returning to screens after five years.

The film is set to hit Netflix on Oct. 4, just in time for spooky season.

2019’s “The Platform” is one of the streamer’s most popular Spanish films ever, getting to the fifth spot in the non-English Film Top Ten category with over 82,800,000 views.

The film is set in a multi-storey prison nicknamed “The Pit” which sees its residents get increasingly desperate as they fight for survival.

The tower’s real name is the Vertical Self-Management Center and it works by allocating a handful of prisoners to each floor. When it comes to meals, a platform abundant with food slowly descends, stopping at each floor for a specific amount of time. But inevitably it means those at the top get first pick – while those at the bottom are lucky to get anything to eat at all.

“The Platform” helmer Galder Gaztelu-Urrutia returns to direct the sequel.

Milena Smit (“The Snow Girl”) and Hovik Keuchkerian (“Money Heist”) star in the film alongside Natalia Tena (“Game of Thrones”) and Óscar Jaenada (“Luis Miguel: The Series”).

“As a mysterious leader imposes their rule in the Platform, a new resident becomes embroiled in the battle against this controversial method to fight the brutal feeding system,” reads the synopsis. “But when eating from the wrong plate becomes a death sentence, how far would you be willing to go to save your life?”

Producers are Carlos Juárez, Galder Gaztelu-Urrutia and Raquel Perea from the Basque Films team.
