I enjoyed the first one, that said I never followed the source material either so that may be why.

Netflix is reportedly at work developing a sequel to the Adam Wingard-directed “Death Note” film adaptation which was released last year.

The film wasn’t a hit with fans or critics, but the streaming service says the first was a “sizeable success”. No director has signed on to the project as yet, but writer Greg Russo will reportedly pen the script for the sequel.

While I haven't seen it I'm sure it was a "sizeable success" by name alone. I'm not sure that this will happen again if the first one wasn't that good.

Well, there goes the last of the faith I had in humanity...

Maybe 2nd times the charm

I’m starting to wonder if one of those TV executives they hired is secretly there to undermine them.

I found the first so bad I couldn't stand more than 30 minutes. I am actually shocked they're making another.

That netflix movie was so terrible I feel like suing netflix for pain and suffering.

Oh boy....

Why not make a season 3 or a reboot instead? Netflix has been pretty generous in getting anime on their service.

I mean...it pretty much ended with the final episode of Season 2 but I could see them going through the whole song-and-dance again with a new protagonist.

First one was bad. I hope they work on making it better.

Please do a better job at casting.

Not surprising even with the reviews of the first film. Bright had a negative hit and it's getting a sequel as well. Subscribers are who matter to netflix.

A lot of people must have hate watched it.

I read somewhere it's the 2nd most successful Netflix original movie, behind Bright.
