The Platform 2 has finally hit Netflix, and fans of the critically acclaimed franchise are in a tizzy over the film’s intriguing storyline. Then, they want to know more about the film’s setting and how it differs from the first installment. So, where is The Platform 2 set, and what’s so exciting about its timeline?

Here's everything you need to know about the film's setting.

The second platform takes place about a year before the first part.

The Platform 2 is more of a prequel than a sequel to the original film, which was released in 2019. The first film ostensibly ended with Goreng’s death and the young girl he was nursing becoming his messenger to the Administration. The message successfully led the other prisoners to rebel against the prison’s rules, and told stories about the prison’s messiah, who is likely none other than Goreng.
