A new franchise on the horizon
The idea of ​​sequels in any form of media tends to be frowned upon by fans, but sequels help turn masterpieces into classics. Even when sequels don’t achieve that goal, they add to the legacy of the original and its characters, helping them achieve legendary status, all while extending the shelf life of the original and its content. Plus, it leaves more room for new audiences to enter the fray and discover what makes the original such a classic once it’s built upon by a subsequent franchise.
now, Under the trees where no one sees is on course for the same legend status. The first sequel is a first step in the serial killer storybook to become a franchise with multiple chapters. Even better is the fact that the idea of ​​a franchise wasn’t something that came up as a last-minute idea based on the original success. Creator Patrick Horvath previously teased the potential of a possible wider franchise in the future, as Horvath “Quickly realized that there is a lot more that I can do with this world.”
