'Bird Box Barcelona': How is it linked to 'Bird Box'? Here's all you ...

Netflix has released a new movie called "Bird Box Barcelona," but there might be some confusion regarding its connection to the highly anticipated sequel, "Bird Box 2." Unlike what many may think, "Bird Box Barcelona" is not a direct continuation of the 2018 hit film "Bird Box," which starred Sandra Bullock and captivated Netflix users during the festive season that year.

Instead, "Bird Box Barcelona" is a spin-off movie predominantly in Spanish, featuring new characters who face the same threat as the original film. Sandra Bullock's character from Bird Box, Malorie, does not appear in this new instalment, and the reasons for her absence will be clarified as we delve into the movie's timeline.

To provide some context, the first "Bird Box" movie followed two timelines. The story began five years after the initial creature attack, where Malorie embarked on a perilous journey to protect her two children.The spin-off begins nine months after the initial attacks and follows Sebastián and his daughter Anna as they navigate the streets of Barcelona in search of safety.

While the premise may sound similar to the first film, unexpected events occur that set it apart. Similar to "Bird Box," "Bird Box Barcelona" alternates between the present timeline and events that occurred nine months earlier, providing insight into Sebastián and Anna's journey. However, the story concludes in the present timeline without any further leaps into the future.

This means that "Bird Box Barcelona" concludes more than four years before Malorie and her children arrive at the community depicted at the end of "Bird Box." This explains Malorie's absence in the new movie as she is dealing with the same creature-related challenges simultaneously with Sebastián and Anna.
