will the Netflix film with Guillaume Canet have a sequel?

Released on January 10, 2025, the feature film with Guillaume Canet rose to the top of the most viewed films in France.

Success has already been confirmed for To lifethe new French film from Netflix, which has become the most viewed feature film on the platform in just a few days. This French action thriller featuring a former member of GIGN offers Guillaume Canet (Don't tell anyone, The little handkerchiefs) an explosive physical role as his character is thrown into a race against time to save his pregnant wife. The film, in addition to its impressive scenes around Paris and Versailles — To life was partly filmed on location — also develops a whole conspiracy-based plot, and could well invite a sequel.

Be careful, the next lines reveal the plot and the resolution ofTo life.

What does the end mean?

Despite the trials and injuries, the end ofTo life is quite happy. The characters of Guillaume Canet, Stéphane Caillard and Nassim Lyes survive, the couple's child is born and the character of Guillaume Canet is exonerated thanks to the action of his partner.

But even more, the affair that the State wanted to bury – and having cost Guillaume Canet his place within the GIGN some time before as well as the kidnapping of his wife – came out publicly, suggesting tense international relations between several country. The whole question is whether the main trio will seek to join the GIGN again or if, on the contrary, they will all embark on a new life far from the police.

For the moment, nothing has been communicated concerning a possible To life 2although some ideas are possible regarding the general plot of the film. The strength of the latter lies above all in the moments of life depicted and shared between the members of the GIGN and if there is a continuation, it could well continue to depict the daily life of the members of the special unit, while emphasizing the aspect of transmission also developed by the film.

Moreover, the very title of this thriller, To life — which means “for all life” — appears behind the badge that the character of Guillaume Canet receives from his father, this testifying to his desire to stay with the GIGN, to evolve there but above all to his inability to leave it detach. Could the protagonist really flourish outside?

More To Life is also a physical commitment and the actors, starting with Guillaume Canet, had to prepare intensively by following very specific training. Everything will perhaps depend on the success of the film in the coming days, if it manages to remain in the Top Netflix rankings. Last summer, the other major French film Under the Seine with Bérénice Bejo worked so well that a sequel was immediately validated, with filming scheduled for September 2025.
