Netflix has started production on a sequel to its 2025 French action thriller “Ad Vitam,” with Guillaume Canet returning. The project is in principal photography under the working title “Ad Vitam Eternam.”
In the first film, Canet plays Franck Lazareff, a former operator for France’s elite GIGN tactical unit, who investigates a deadly conspiracy after his pregnant wife is kidnapped by masked assailants. Both outlets report that Canet reprises the same character for the sequel.
Details about the sequel’s plot beyond Lazareff’s return are limited in the available coverage. Variety emphasizes the sequel’s development and the working title’s Latin meaning, while Deadline focuses on Netflix’s production start and the action-thriller framing. Both accounts agree on the key creative continuity and Netflix’s role in bringing the next installment to production.
