An adaptation of the 2010 novel The Postcard Killers by James Patterson and Liza Marklund, The Postcard Killings is a crime film directed by Danis Tanović. The plot revolves around the veteran New York detective Jacob Kanon, who learns that his daughter and her husband have been brutally murdered during their honeymoon in London. Teaming up with a Swedish journalist, Kanon sets out to find those responsible and discover that the deaths of his daughter and son-in-law are connected to the murders of other couples across Europe. The Postcard Killings premiered on March 13, 2020. If you are wondering whether there will be The Postcard Killings 2, this is what we have discovered.
Here’s all we know about The Postcard Killings 2 and whether or not it’s coming out.
Is there The Postcard Killings 2 release date?
There is no The Postcard Killings 2 release date as it has not been announced yet.
As of January 2024, the sequel to The Postcard Killings hasn’t been officially greenlit. As things stand now, three years and 10 months after the release of the first film, the sequel will probably never get made. Patterson and Marklund’s book doesn’t have a sequel, so there is no source material that can be used to develop a second film, despite the cliffhanger ending of the first movie. While there are examples that successfully navigate around this issue, The Postcard Killings has a 25% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes and reportedly made around $181 thousand at the box office, making the chances for a potential sequel even less significant.
The cast includes Jeffrey Dean Morgan as Jacob Kanon, Famke Janssen as Valerie Kanon, Cush Jumbo as Désirée “Dessie” Lombard, Joachim Król as Inspector Klaus Bublitz, Steven Mackintosh as Rupert Pearce, Naomi Battrick as Sylvia Randolph / Marina Haysmith, Ruairi O’Connor as Mac Randolph / Simon Haysmith, Denis O’Hare as Simon Haysmith, Eva Röse as DS Agneta Hoglund, Lukas Loughran as Detective Evert Ridderwall, Dylan Devonald Smith as Pieter, Sallie Harmsen as Nienke, Orla O’Rourke as Nancy, Christopher Pizzey as Charles Hardwick, and more.
Why The Postcard Killings 2 might not be happening
The Postcard Killings 2 probably isn’t coming out because, given the circumstances mentioned above, it might never go into development. ComingSoon will provide an update if the circumstances change.
The official synopsis for The Postcard Killings reads:
