Harriet Slater ("Outlander: Blood of My Blood", "Belgravia: The Next Chapteri", "Pennyworth"), Arsema Thomas ("Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story", "She Taught Love") and Tom Brittney ("The Westies", "Grantchester", "Greyhound") are leading the upcoming survival thriller "Fall 2". The sequel is directed by "Jigsaw" and "Predestination" helmers Michael and Peter Spierig, while Scott Mann, who wrote and directed the original "Fall", co-wrote the sequel's script alongside Jonathan Frank.
Overwhelmed by her sister Hunter's death, Jax (Slater) connects with Luce (Thomas), Hunter's fearless friend. To heal, they attempt the infamous plank walk of Mount Kwan in Thailand. After a sudden rockslide leaves them stranded on a fragile plank 3000 feet in the air, Jax must confront her deepest fears and fight for survival to find closure.
Principal photography wrapped earlier this year in Thailand, and the film is scheduled to release in early 2026 through Lionsgate. Capstone Studios greenlit both "Fall 2" and "Fall 3" under the franchise, and Mann will return to write and direct the third installment.
The film reunites producers Mark Lane and James Harris of Tea Shop Productions ("47 Meters Down"), Capstone Studios' Christian Mercuri, David Haring, and Mann via the Flawless banner. Dan Asma, John Long, and Roman Viaris also return as executive producers alongside Capstone's Ruzanna Kegeyan. Wych Kaos' Kaos Entertainment served as production service partners in Thailand, with Kaos also joining as executive producer.
Tea Shop's James Harris had this to say about the project: "We are delighted to be working with the extremely talented Spierig Brothers and this incredibly dynamic cast to introduce the next chapter in the Fall franchise. With Michael and Peter's vision we hope to bring a bigger and even more vertigo inducing experience to audiences."
The Spierig Brothers added: "We were huge fans of the first film and couldn't wait to continue the journey. Our aim was to capture the same intensity that Scott Mann and his team established in the original, while adding new, layered characters who will connect with audiences as they endure extreme and terrifying heights".
"Fall" was a surprise runaway critical and commercial success, grossing over $20 million at the box office against a modest $3 million budget. Internationally it was a major hit, including in China where it was nominated as Best Foreign Language Film for a Golden Rooster, China's equivalent to the Academy Awards.
The original film is famous for leveraging the TrueSync™ technology from Flawless, the leading film technology company pioneering the next generation of entertainment, of which Mann is Co-CEO. TrueSync, a TIME Best Inventions honoree, was used to change expletives spoken in the film by star Virginia Gardner to family-friendly language, which was crucial in securing the film's successful global release.
