Troll 2

by

According to recent news, the much-anticipated continuation of the Troll saga on Netflix, titled “Troll 2“, is set for release in the year 2025. This update was announced through Netflix’s shareholder letter, making it the first substantial information released since the production of the sequel was approved in 2023. The original Troll movie, directed by Roar Uthaug, became Netflix’s most-watched non-English film, garnering a staggering 103 million views within its initial 91 days and receiving a “Certified Fresh” rating on Rotten Tomatoes. The film’s popularity underscores Netflix’s growing influence in international markets, as it gained global recognition despite being rooted in Norway and presented in Norwegian.

In a nutshell, the initial movie revolves around the revival of a massive mythical creature from Norwegian folklore after an ancient sleep was disturbed within the Dovre mountain, which had been sealed for a millennium. What makes Troll stand out amongst other monster films is its distinctive fusion of Scandinavian folklore with contemporary kaiju elements, resulting in a refreshing twist on the genre that often leans heavily on Japanese influences. The film’s popularity underscores Netflix’s knack for providing top-notch genre content to audiences beyond English-speaking regions, as it ranked among the Top 10 in an impressive 93 countries, including major markets such as the US, UK, Japan, and South Korea.

In the upcoming sequel, director Roar Uthaug and writer Espen Aukan will be back, along with producers Espen Horn and Kristian Strand Sinkerud. The exact storyline is still a secret, but Horn and Sinkerud have confirmed that “Troll 2” will continue to delve into Norwegian folklore, preserving the cultural richness that made the original film unique. As Uthaug expressed when the sequel was announced, “Making ‘Troll’ was a dream come true, and the global response to our Norwegian movie has been astonishing.
