Cousins Robbie and Stephen Amell reunite for the Code 8 sequel, Code 8 Part II, which just dropped its first teaser trailer. Released in 2019, Code 8 introduced a world in which 4% of the population has supernatural abilities. Those with special talents are discriminated against and are often forced into a life of crime just to get by.
In the original film, Garrett (Stephen Amell) convinced Connor (Robbie Amell) to work for a crime syndicate, a move that ultimately led to Connor going to prison.
Although Garrett and Connor have parted ways by the end of Code 8, they’ll be thrust back together in the sequel. “I want Connor to have to really deal with the ramifications of his actions in Code 8,” explained director Jeff Chan in a feature on Netflix’s Tudum. “But despite his current situation, Connor is a good and noble person at heart — a protector.”
Jeff Chan directed the original film and returns for the sequel. Chan also co-wrote the screenplay with Chris Paré, and both Chan and Paré served as producers along with Steve Hoban, Robbie Amell, and Stephen Amell.
“In this sequel to Code 8, Connor (Robbie Amell) is out of prison and working as a janitor at a community center, having cut ties with his former criminal associate Garrett (Stephen Amell),” reads Netflix’s synopsis. “Connor’s attempt at staying out of trouble is destroyed when he’s forced to help 14-year-old Pav (Sirena Gulamgaus) escape from a pack of corrupt officers led by Sergeant King (Alex Mallari Jr.). King uses the newly launched robotic K9’s to track Pav down, while Connor finds himself once again reaching out to Garrett and his crew for help, but can he trust the man who landed him in prison in the first place?”
