Overview

• After its Aug. 28 Netflix debut, the film briefly hit No. 1 in the U.S. before settling at No. 2, overtaking KPop Demon Hunters and trailing the new documentary Unknown Number: The High School Catfish, according to coverage citing FlixPatrol.
• No follow-up has been announced, and director Chris Columbus has said a sequel depends on how many people watch the film.
• Forbes notes Netflix typically greenlights sequels based on sustained performance, making continued audience interest a key factor.
• Coverage flags a significant change from the book’s ending that could affect a direct continuation, with no plot details disclosed.
• Helen Mirren, Pierce Brosnan, Ben Kingsley and Celia Imrie have expressed enthusiasm about returning, though schedules—such as Mirren and Brosnan’s work on Paramount Plus’s Mobland—could complicate timing, and Richard Osman’s multi-book series provides ample source material.
