Bridge7 Secures Rights for Potential 'Slumdog Millionaire' Sequel and TV Adaptation

The newly formed production company plans to collaborate with Celador on expanding the story of the Oscar-winning 2008 film.

Bridge7, a Los Angeles-based production company, has acquired the sequel and TV adaptation rights to 'Slumdog Millionaire' from the UK-based Celador.
The 2008 film, directed by Danny Boyle, won eight Oscars, including Best Picture and Best Director, and launched Dev Patel to international fame.
The sequel is expected to explore the next chapter of protagonist Jamal's journey, though no confirmation has been made regarding the involvement of the original cast or crew.
Bridge7, founded by Swati Shetty and Grant Kessman, aims to focus on universal human stories and will collaborate with Celador on the development of the sequel.
Separately, a stage musical adaptation of 'Slumdog Millionaire,' featuring music from composer A.R. Rahman, is also in development under a different production deal.
