Under Paris 2, the sequel to Netflix\u2019s 2024 hit Seine-set shark thriller, has begun shooting in the South of France with Alexandre Aja in the director\u2019s seat, reports Deadline<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Expectations are high for the production, notes the site, which surprisingly remains the second-most-popular non-English-language film on Netflix, with more than 102 million views, according to the streamer\u2019s own data.<\/p>\n

B\u00e9r\u00e9nice Bejo and Nassim Lyes reprise their respective roles of marine scientist Sophia and river police commander Adil, who previously joined forces when killer sharks arrived in the Seine in the lead-up to the Paris Olympics triathlon swimming heats in the famed river.<\/p>\n

Set three years later, the new film sees their characters reunite on another high-risk mission to track down Lilith, the original predator, in the shark-infested Seine when the center of the French capital becomes submerged.<\/p>\n

Further cast members include:<\/p>\n

\u2022 Guillaume Gouix
\u2022 Philippe Bas
\u2022 Manon Bresch
\u2022 Anne Marivin<\/p>\n

Aja, whose credits include Crawl and Piranha 3D, takes over directing duties from Xavier Gens (Frontier(s), who helmed the first film.<\/p>\n

\u201cI love Paris, and I always wanted to make a shark movie, so it was an obvious yes when the opportunity came to take the story even deeper,\u201d said Aja.<\/p>\n

He also shares co-writing credits with Gregory Levasseur, Fr\u00e9d\u00e9ric Garcia, William Laboury, Gens, and Fanny Talmone. Aja and Gens are also associate producers, with Vincent Roget producing under the banner of Let Me Be.<\/p>\n
