Following the successful debut of Red Notice last November, it looks like Netflix has started its plans on expanding the film into a big action franchise. Deadline brings word that the streamer is currently in the early stages of negotiations for the potential back-to-back filming of two Red Notice sequels, with Ryan Reynolds, Dwayne Johnson, and Gal Gadot expected to return.
Netflix is hoping to begin production in early next year. However, production start would still depend on its three stars’ already packed schedules, who are each working on their own individual high-profile profile projects including Deadpool 3 for Reynolds, Wonder Woman 3 for Gadot, and Black Adam for Johnson.

The Red Notice sequels will be once again be produced by Johnson, Hiram Garcia, and Dany Garcia through Seven Bucks Productions along with Beau Flynn for Flynn Pictures Co and Thurber. Flynn Pictures’ Scott Sheldon is also set as an executive producer.

Since its release, it has become Netflix’s most-watched film with over 200 million hours streamed during its first 28 days.
