Is There Going to be The Informer 2? Here’s What We Know So Far

The Informer is a crime thriller movie released in 2019, directed by Andrea Di Stefano and starring Joel Kinnaman, Rosamund Pike, Common, and Clive Owen. Based on the novel Three Seconds by Anders Roslund and Börge Hellström, the film tells the story of a former Special Forces soldier named Pete Koslow who works as an informant for the FBI to get out of prison, but gets caught in a dangerous game of undercover operations and betrayals. While the film received mixed reviews from critics and audiences, it was moderately successful at the box office, grossing around $20 million worldwide against a $25 million budget. As the fans of The Informer wonder if there will be a sequel or not, let’s explore the current state of the project.

First of all, it’s worth noting that there hasn’t been any official announcement from the studio or the filmmakers about The Informer 2. This means that any information about the sequel should be taken with a grain of salt, as rumors and speculations can easily spread on the internet, fueled by fan enthusiasm or industry insiders. However, there are some signs that suggest that there is a possibility for The Informer 2 to happen sooner or later.

One of the most compelling indications of a sequel is the fact that the producers of The Informer, Basil Iwanyk and Erica Lee, have a track record of developing franchises based on popular genre properties. For example, Iwanyk produced the John Wick series, which started with a sleeper hit in 2014 and became a cultural phenomenon with three sequels and a TV spinoff. Lee, on the other hand, executive produced the three Purge movies, which turned a low-budget horror concept into a profitable franchise with a TV series and a fifth installment in the works. This means that Iwanyk and Lee have the experience and the network to pitch and package a sequel for The Informer, especially if they believe that there is a market for the story.

Another clue about The Informer 2 comes from the source material. The novel Three Seconds has two sequels, titled Cell 8 and Two Soldiers, which continue the story of Pete Koslow and explore new themes and characters. Although the film adaptation of The Informer deviates from the book in some aspects, it preserves the core elements of the plot and the character of Koslow. Therefore, it’s conceivable that the filmmakers could use the other novels as a basis for a potential sequel, either by adapting them directly or by incorporating elements from them into a new story. Of course, this also depends on the availability of the rights and the creative vision of the writers and directors involved.

However, it’s important to balance the optimism with some caution. The box office results of The Informer suggest that the film was not a major commercial success, especially compared to other action thrillers or crime dramas released in the same year. While the budget of the movie was not huge, it still needs to make enough profit to justify a sequel, which would require additional investment and marketing expenses. Moreover, the COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted the movie industry in many ways, affecting the production schedules, release dates, and revenue streams of movies globally. Therefore, even if there were plans for The Informer 2 before the pandemic, they might have been put on hold or canceled altogether.

In conclusion, the question of whether there will be The Informer 2 remains unanswered, but there are some reasons to be hopeful. The track record of the producers, the availability of the source material, and the potential for a new story all point to the idea that The Informer could become a franchise with more installments. However, the ultimate decision depends on many factors, including the financial and logistical feasibility, the creative vision, and the market demand. Until there is an official announcement, the fans of The Informer can only speculate and imagine what the sequel would be like.
