Warning! Spoilers for Under Paris!

The end credits of Netflix’s shark thriller Under Paris carry one last twist, revealing that the kill count shown in the movie is only the beginning. Much like Jaws, Under Paris outlines the rise of a killer shark, though the Netflix film takes it a step further by having it be a group of sharks living in the Seine. The action and gore only escalate as the film goes on, creating a dynamic conclusion as the sharks truly begin their frenzy in France.

Under Paris‘ ending shows Sophie (Bérénice Bejo) and Adil (Nassim Lyes) as they gaze around in horror at the flooded Paris streets. They are surrounded by sharks, who have overtaken the city after explosions open the Seine’s banks, with no hope of survival. Despite this already bleak cliffhanger, the end credits of Under Paris go even darker, revealing that the sharks’ takeover will not be limited to the City of Lights.

Under Paris’ Ending Credits Reveal Several More Countries’ Rivers Have Been Taken Over By Sharks

Under Paris’ Sharks Travel to Several European & Asian Countries

Under Paris’ end credits showcase how the sharks travel through both fresh and saltwater to infiltrate cities across the globe, dooming humanity. After witnessing the despair of Under Paris’ characters, the credits showcase a map of Paris flooded by red lines, symbolizing the sharks. Those red lines carve through London next, implying the sharks found their way to the Thames. Some sharks seem to swim east to Bangkok and Tokyo, while others go west into New York via the Hudson. The sharks also spread south as they infiltrate Venice’s many waterways.

This mounting invasion has already proven its point, highlighting the sharks’ might. However, the final shot of Under Paris‘ credits truly sells the horror, as every continent on Earth is outlined in red, in addition to the fact that each ocean is already occupied by the sharks. These end credits leave audiences on a chilling note and perfectly set up a possible Under Paris 2 if Netflix greenlights a follow-up after the movie’s success.

The Netflix Movie’s Closing Credits Perfectly Set Up Under Paris 2

Under Paris 2 Could Combine Two Thriller Genres

Under Paris’ closing credits set up a possible sequel that would maintain the first film’s action and properly combine two long-standing genres of film. The release of Netflix’s Under Paris has been met with critical acclaim, so the likelihood of a sequel is high. Considering the ending of the first film, Under Paris 2 could combine the classic shark thriller with the dystopian subgenre to create a unique story. Through this combination, the sequel has a chance to increase its gore while further emphasizing its message of environmental conservation.

Under Paris 2 would allow the current or new characters dealing with the sharks’ invasion of all major waterways. Using that premise, the film could borrow moments from many zombie or other invasive species-based dystopian films. By combining these genre beats, the sequel can keep the intense kills of a shark movie while also adding a new twist to the gripping trials of a dystopia. Not only that but the environmental themes of Under Paris can be explored further, demonstrating the dangers of further ecological harm from humans and how it affects everyone on both land and sea.
