Netflix released a video today officially confirming its fantasy drama
Bright will indeed be getting a sequel.
The announcement follows a
Bloomberg report that claimed Netflix had already ordered a follow-up even before
Bright debuted on the streaming service, with Will Smith signed on. There was no mention here if Smith will reprise his role in the sequel, but it appears Netflix has bigger things to worry about: like what to name the follow-up.
The announcement was made via a mock "leaked" tape of Orc auditions, and offers some potential titles for the
Bright sequel. Check it out below.
Bright hasn't exactly been a critical darling, registering just a 28% on
Rotten Tomatoes; however, it has received a more welcomed reception from actual Netflix subscribers, which is really all that matters.
Bright was Netflix's first attempt at a blockbuster production, with hopes of upending the movie business as the company did with television. While reviewers didn't necessarily love it,
Bright did attract 11 million viewers on its opening weekend in the United States alone.

Bright sequel?
