When is the Bird Box sequel on Netflix?
Josh Malerman has confirmed the next book, titled Malorie, will be published on 1 October, 2019 in the US.
The author has already started to tease a few elements of the sequel's plot. The story follows on from Bird Box, a gripping story which sees mum-of-two Malorie living in a post-apocalyptic world, trying to hide from a supernatural threat.
She has to protect her eyes from the silent killer and only leaves her boarded-up home wearing a blindfold. If anyone makes eye contact with the mysterious force they instantly harm themselves.
What is the Bird Box sequel about?
Author Josh Malerman told Esquire: "In the time between Bird Box coming out and the time since I’ve been writing Malorie, I’ve been asked a ton of times: people want to know what happened with Boy and Girl.
“But as much as I care about Boy and Girl, this isn’t their story. The Bird Box world is Malorie’s story, and I wanted to know more about her. I wanted to get to know her even better.
“At the end of the movie, I turned to my girl Allison and said, ‘I want to know what happens next!’ and she’s like, ‘Well, you know, you could make that happen,’ so it really was this warm feeling.”
