Netflix Is “Kicking Around The Idea Of ‘Leo 2′” Says Co-CEO Ted Sarandos

‘Leo’ is Netflix’s biggest animated original to date, landing in the streamer’s top 10 English-language film list for nine consecutive weeks.

With so many quality qualified films in this year’s animated feature race, voters will have a tough time picking the five best.

“There’s plenty of appetite for more than the few films a year that we’re currently doing,” said Netflix co-CEO Ted Sarandos.

During its first six days on the service, the film chalked up a record-setting 34.6 million views, totalling 61.7m hours viewed.

Adam Sandler’s ‘Leo’ hit Netflix this week after screening for free in 150 theaters on November 11 and 12.

The streamer also unveiled a new ‘Jurassic World’ animated series from Dreamworks Animation.

Could ‘Leo’ mark a change in how Netflix will release its four-quadrant films going forward?

‘Leo’ is directed by the ‘Saturday TV Funhouse’ trio of Robert Smigel, Robert Marianetti, and David Wachtenheim.

The end of the year may be near, but there’s still plenty of animated films headed your way.

The star-studded comedy will debut on Netflix worldwide on November 21.

The streamer shared details about nine animated features coming out across 2023-2024.

Other titles Netflix will tease at Annecy include ‘Leo,’ ‘Chicken Run: Dawn of the Nugget,’ and ‘The Monkey King.’

The kids and family feature will debut on Netflix on November 22 of this year.
