Starting with Enola Holmes 2, is Netflix adopting a strategy by creating franchises of its original films

“Sequels are a conversation and a reality”- Why Is Netflix Green Lighting Films Like ‘Enola Holmes 2’?

With Netflix churning out new content by the second, it is hard to believe that
the streaming goliath once did not have an “original film” category. In fact, it
has barely been 5 years since the Netflix Original film department came into
existence. Today, the catalog is up to the brim with an amazing portfolio of
proprietary movies. So much so that the streaming platform is now taking the
next step. Can you guess what that is? Enola Holmes 2 might be a big hint.



Well, we are obviously referencing sequels. Having treaded the waters with
romantic comedies and teen flicks like To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before, Tall
Girl, and more, Netflix is now expanding its sequel roster with more genres.
What are the benefits of this move?

WHY IS NETFLIX BETTING ON SEQUELS LIKE ENOLA HOLMES 2?

With popular TV series like Stranger Things, Squid Games, Never Have I Ever, and
more, the audience gets invested in the universes of these shows and falls in
love with the characters. Hence, they always keep coming for more. This
phenomenon works for films as well. In Enola Holmes, fans were in awe of the
1800s setting, the enigmatic fast-paced narrative, and the characters. They
especially adored the quirky detective played by Millie Bobby Brown
[https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/millie-bobby-brown/].

Additionally, in the first month itself, the 2020 film had an estimated
viewership of 76 million households. So a sequel for the mystery flick was a
no-brainer. According [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-xR_lBtEvSc] to Mary
Parent, the producer of the Enola Holmes films,

“It’s pretty impressive that sequels are a conversation and a reality.”

In fact, the streamer wasted absolutely no time getting the second movie on
track. Moreover, screenwriter Jack Thorne, director Harry Bradbeer, as well as
the cast, including Millie Bobby Brown and Henry Cavill
[https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/henry-cavill/], were also excited about returning
to the world they built.

“You try not to take it for granted. And you try to raise the bar on yourself,
to up the storytelling, up the stakes with everything that you loved about the
first but also something new,” stated Parent.

Good sequels help transform successful films into prospering film
franchises. Enola Holmes 2 premiered just a day ago on November 4. If the film
does well and engages the audience enough, there might even be a part 3.

OTHER UPCOMING SEQUELS ON NETFLIX

Apart from the strange chronicles of the Holmes family, Netflix also has several
more sequels ready to grace our screens. Murder Mystery 2 starring Jennifer
Aniston and Adam Sandler is a set to give us a comedic take on a classic
whodunnit format. Additionally, Chris Hemsworth is making a comeback with
Extraction 2 as the grungy mercenary who cannot seem to keep trouble at bay.



Another whodunnit sequel coming soon to Netflix is Knives out 2: Glass Onion
[https://netflixjunkie.com/netflixnews-knives-out-2-heres-what-you-should-look-for-in-the-promo-and-everything-you-need-to-know/]. Interestingly,
the first part of the mystery film did not belong to the streamer. The platform
made an opportunistic move to churn out more stories from the world of Rian
Johnson, starring Daniel Craig as the elusive private eye, Benoit Blanc. They
paid a handsome sum of $450 million to get the film rights and sequels.
