Netflix confirms sequel to record-breaking TrollNetflix

Netflix has confirmed that a sequel will be coming out to one of its most successful movies of all time: Troll.

The first movie was released in 2022 and followed a gigantic creature that woke up after a thousand years in captivity. The creature wreaks havoc on its path towards Oslo.

The film became a massive hit for Netflix and is still the most-watched non-English language original Netflix movie to this day.

Director Roar Uthaug, who helmed the first movie and is returning for the sequel, said in a statement: "Making Troll was a lifelong dream come true, and the reception our Norwegian movie has received around the world has been unbelievable."

Meanwhile, producers Espen Horn and Kristian Strand Sinkerud said that the Troll sequel will be "again spinning on a Norwegian fairy tale figure, played, directed and produced by Norwegians."
