    Beloved Animated Netflix Movie Gets Sequel
    After KPop Demon Hunters Success
    ------------------------------------------
    Following the massive success of KPop Demon Hunters, Netflix is
    once again collaborating with Sony Pictures Animation to develop
    the sequel to 2021's acclaimed sci-fi comedy The Mitchells vs.
    the Machines. The movie was a critical success with a Certified
    Fresh score of 97% on Rotten Tomatoes. It was also nominated for
    Best Animated Feature at the 94th Academy Awards.

    What do we know about Netflix's The Mitchells vs. the Machines 2?
    According to Variety, Guillermo Martinez and JP Sans have been
    tapped to helm The Mitchells vs. the Machines 2, which is being
    written by Wendy Molyneux and Lizzie Molyneux-Logelin. Martinez
    previously worked on the first installment as the head of story.
    The upcoming animated sequel will serve as his feature directorial
    debut. Interestingly, Martinez also previously worked as a story
    artist on KPop Demon Hunters.

    The original movie's director Mike Rianda, and Aditya Sood have
    signed on as executive producers, while Phil Lord, Christopher
    Miller, and Kurt Albrecht are set to produce the movie. Netflix is
    planning to start the sequel's production in early 2026. Just like
    the first installment, the streamer will be distributing the movie
    as part of a licensing agreement with Sony.

    The Mitchells vs. the Machines featured the voices of Abbi
    Jacobson as Katie Mitchell, Danny McBride as Rick Mitchell, Maya
    Rudolph as Linda Mitchell, Rianda as Aaron, Eric Andre as tech
    inventor Mark Bowman, and Olivia Colman as a Siri-like voice
    assistant called PAL. The story centered around young Katie
    Mitchell, who embarks on a road trip with her parents and younger
    brother after they insist on accompanying her to college. However,
    their trip is cut short when the world is suddenly taken over by
    electronic devices that have come to life to stage an uprising.
