Netflix crime thriller stays in its non-English top 10 for ninth week
A Mexican crime thriller has stayed in Netflix’s non-English top 10 for nine weeks, making it one of the service’s most-watched films in that category.
The film is described as a crime thriller set in Mexico’s badlands, in the style of Sicario.
Its popularity comes as Sicario 3 is planned to begin production in 2027.
The new film is expected to reunite Emily Blunt, Benicio del Toro and Josh Brolin.
It will have a different creative team: Padraic McKinley is set to direct, and Steven Knight is set to write.
The first two Sicario films earned more than $170 million worldwide combined, despite neither reaching $100 million on its own.
Their lasting popularity on home viewing platforms has helped bring the franchise back, and the new film will continue without writer Taylor Sheridan or directors Denis Villeneuve and Stefano Sollima.
