Despite not being as well-known as X-Men, science fiction fans and critics gave Code 8 positive reviews and reception when it debuted on Netflix in April 2020. Stephen Amell and Robbie Amell, the well-known cousins from Arrow verse, appeared in the full-length version of Jeff Chan’s short storey of the same name. Now, a different sequel to that movie is being made, with Chan and the Amell cousins playing the directors and actors, respectively. In the fictional city of Lincoln, where Code 8 is situated, 4% of the population is born with special abilities for unexplained reasons.

The two fugitives who wreaked havoc on Lincoln City in the first Code 8 movie, Connor Reed (Robbie Amell) and Garrett Kelton (Stephen Amell), have not been seen or heard from in a number of years. In a fictional universe where 4% of people are born with unique powers, these two people represent a serious threat. They are “PWPs,” or “people with powers,” who use their skills to commit crimes. Launched in 2019, Code 8 was a crowdfunding phenomenon that raised over $2 million on Indiegogo and introduced viewers to the world of PWPs and the robotic police force tasked with finding them. The sequel picks off where the thrilling Canadian original left off, following Connor and Garrett’s storey right away.

Code 8: Part II Release Date: 

On February 28, 2024, Code 8: Part II will be available on Netflix.

What apparently happened during the initial Code 8?

In the first Code 8, electrokinetic PWP Connor (Robbie Amell) lives in a society where those with power are looked down upon. Following an economic revolution that mostly ignored PWPs, powered crime is on the rise, and the city is considering outlawing PWPs completely. 

In an attempt to care for his sick mother, Connor becomes entangled in the ever-deadly web of Lincoln City crime. He befriends Garrett (Stephen Amell), a telekinetic enforcer for the Trust, a criminal organisation that distributes Psyke, a brand-new, highly addictive substance manufactured from PWPs’ spinal fluid.

The unusual group, pursued by Detectives Park (Sung Kang) and Davis (Aaron Abrams), starts pulling off progressively riskier heists to support their boss, Marcus (Greg Byrk), who owes his Trust backers money after a police raid confiscated his stash of Psyke.

Before long, Connor and Garrett are plotting the largest theft to date—the police department’s stock of pilfered psychological warfare equipment. They give Marcus the robbery in exchange for Garrett agreeing to become a full participant in the drug operation and Connor requesting that powerful henchwoman Nia cure his mother. 

The deal is ultimately undone by this second condition; on the day of the robbery, Garrett and Connor are betrayed by Marcus’ gang, leaving them blamed and alone. After Connor alerts the authorities to Marcus’ hiding place, Garrett and he use the raid as justification to kill Marcus. When Connor learns that curing his mother’s condition will need Nia to take it on herself, he decides against accompanying Nia to the hospital to help her.

He bids his mother farewell and surrenders to the authorities. In other news, Garrett assumes control of the drug trade in Lincoln City, and the city decides to outlaw Powers.

Code 8 Part 2 of Code 8 Storyline:

A good sequel improves upon the first one rather than just continuing where it left off. High expectations will be put on the script by Jeff Chan, Jesse LaVercombe (Violation), and Sherren Lee because of the extraordinary success of Code 8’s narrative this time around (Coroner). The following is the official synopsis of Code 8’s Part II plot: In the sequel, a teenage girl seeking revenge for her brother’s death is duped by dishonest police officials. In order to expose dishonest law enforcement, she teams up with a former accomplice (Stephen Amell) and a former prisoner (Robbie Amell). They use advanced robotic technology to mask their whereabouts.

The main character of the first Code 8 is Connor (Robbie Amell), an electrokinetic PWP living in a world that rejects those with powers. Since PWPs were abandoned during the industrial revolution, powered crime has escalated; the city is presently debating whether to outright outlaw PWPs. To support his sick mother, Connor finds himself drawn more and deeper into the perilous world of Lincoln City’s criminal underbelly. He makes friends with Garrett (Stephen Amell), a telekinetic enforcer working for the Trust, a gang that sells Psyke, an extremely addictive drug made from PWPs’ spinal fluid.

The unlikely crew sets out on a string of increasingly dangerous heists to support their boss, Marcus (Greg Byrk), who is beholden to his trust donors after the police seize his Psyke stash. Detectives Park (Sung Kang) and Davis (Aaron Abrams) are pursuing the unlikely group (a police raid). The storey proceeds by five years in Part II, putting it against the backdrop of public outcry over the police’s excessive use of fatal force,” Chan said in a statement to Netflix. But rather than giving up control, it is being redirected, repackaged, and offered to the public as a kind of “change.

The Code 8 team wants to use the genre tropes in the movie to ask important questions about the modern society. “I wanted there to be a subtle feeling of contemporaneity in the movie,” Chan said. Law enforcement is about to undergo a revolution, and this will require addressing difficult problems related to the use of robotics and artificial intelligence. The movie’s goal is to explore the spooky and terrible future that is drawing near. The first movie’s storey centres on Connor Reed (Robbie Amell), a young man with remarkable talents who finds it difficult to pay for his sick mother’s medical care (Kari Matchett).

After a string of illegal actions, Connor voluntarily turns himself in to the police, and the movie ends with a referendum on a ban on authority in Lincoln City. The storey of Code 8: Part II revolves around teenage Asher Riker’s bloody battle to exact revenge on dishonest police officers for killing her brother. After being exposed as an eyewitness to the cover-up, she becomes a target and enlists Connor and his former accomplice in crime to help her.
