It’s hard not to be tempted to repeat a hit… Netflix has therefore decided to offer a sequel to Under the Seineby Xavier Gens, and we easily understand this since this “shark” film was the first French production to exceed 100 million views on the platform.
A “very different” sequel
It was its main actress, Bérénice Bejo, who made the announcement during a long interview with La Tribune: “We will shoot Under the Seine 2 in September 2025,” she declares, specifying: “it will not be a simple sequel, it is another film, very different… but still with a shark! “.
The actress also reveals that the success of the first part earned her “special requests”: “Anne Hidalgo asked me to jump into the Seine with her but I declined,” she confides. She also asked me if she had served as a model for the character of the mayor. In fact, it’s more of a mix of her and Valérie Pécresse.”
