THE SHADOW STRAYS 2 Is In The Works!
A sequel is officially in development at Netflix for Indonesian action thriller, The Shadow Strays, according to a social media post by Timo Tjahjanto on Friday. The director also hinted at the return of actress Aurora Ribero in a caption he wrote saying “She will return.”
The line is a likely reference to Ribero’s portrayal of “13,” a member of an elite clandestine organization of ninja-like assassins whose forced hiatus in Jakarta results in a violent investigation into the murder of a young boy’s mother. Her quest escalates into an all-out war with a gang of politically-connected criminals, as well as her own organization.
The film throws in a lot of moving pieces that definitely set up more story arcs, so this would be an ample opportunity for Tjahjanto to capitalize on those, particularly with the cameos of action star Yayan Ruhian, as well as actress Mawar Eva de Jongh. Beyond this, plot details for the sequel currently remain…well… in the shadows. For now.
Tjahjanto’s current assignment will be the promotion of Nobody 2 for its August release from Universal, will be tackling sequel duty as David Ayer’s successor on The Beekeeper 2 for Amazon MGM Studios.
