Carry-On Director Rules Out Sequel Plans

Netflix's thriller Carry-On, starring Taron Egerton, has achieved remarkable success, becoming the fifth-most-watched English-language film on the platform with 149.4 million views in its first four weeks. Directed by Jaume Collet-Serra, the film follows a TSA agent blackmailed into compromising security during a Christmas flight, earning an 88% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Despite its popularity and positive reception, Collet-Serra has stated there are currently no plans for a sequel, though he remains open to the idea if there is sufficient audience demand and a compelling concept emerges. The film's success has sparked discussions about potential spin-offs, particularly focused on supporting characters. Carry-On's viewership numbers could eventually surpass other Netflix hits like Bird Box and The Adam Project, highlighting its staying power in the streaming landscape. As of now, while the door is not completely closed on a sequel, it appears to rest on audience interest and creative inspiration.
