Our Take On Monster High 2’s Netflix Success
This Could Affect The Franchise’s Future
The success ofMonster High 2on Netflix could mean that there is renewed interest in a possible third installment in the franchise. Previously, a new, unrelated adaptation of the property was announced in June in the wake of the box office success of2023’sBarbie, which seemed to eliminate any possibility of a follow-up. However, if the movie continues to hold a place on the Netflix Top 10 in the coming weeks, it could pique the interest of producers in making an official continuation with the same cast.
