After a fair share of emotional moments and kind of confusing science fiction with The Adam Project, it finally seems like Netflix is ready to change the vibe. And it officially changed the mood for the month of May to action with the confirmed release of a sequel to a much-celebrated French movie, De l’autre côté du périph, otherwise known as On the Other Side of the Tracks. Yes, the 2012 movie is finally getting a sequel titled The Takedown. Netflix misses no chances to serve its audience with the absolute best content, and this is just a continuation of the ritual.

Just like every year, Netflix dropped a list of original titles that will come out in 2022. Recently, the streaming giant revealed the list of all the French titles that will arrive on the network this year. And in that list was the much-anticipated title The Takedown.
