Netflix is set to expand its popular Polish crime thriller franchise with Colors of Evil: Black, a suspense-filled mystery that promises even darker twists than its predecessor. Following the success of Colors of Evil: Red, the upcoming film takes viewers into a haunting new investigation where buried secrets and local legends collide.

The story follows prosecutor Leopold Bilski as he investigates the disappearance of children in a remote Polish town. What initially appears to be a missing persons case soon turns into something far more disturbing.
As Bilski digs deeper, he uncovers a web of long-hidden secrets, community silence, and unsettling local folklore. The peaceful surroundings hide a much darker reality, forcing the prosecutor to confront truths that many residents would rather keep buried.
Unlike the urban setting of the first film, this chapter shifts to the scenic but isolated Kashubian region of Poland. The change in location adds a fresh layer of tension, creating an atmosphere where every clue feels connected to a larger mystery.
Fans of Colors of Evil: Red will be pleased to see Leopold Bilski return as the central investigator. The first film gained international attention for its gripping murder mystery and emotionally charged storytelling.
With Colors of Evil: Black, the franchise moves beyond a single murder investigation and explores themes of guilt, hidden trauma, and community secrets. Early details suggest the sequel will focus more heavily on psychological suspense while maintaining the crime-thriller elements that made the original film successful.
Actor Jakub Gierszał reprises his role as prosecutor Leopold Bilski, leading a cast that includes Marianna Zydek, Andrzej Chyra, Robert Gonera, Beata Ścibakówna, Piotr Żurawski, Julian Świeżewski, and Adam Bobik.
The film is directed by Adrian Panek, who also returns to continue the dark and atmospheric storytelling style established in the first installment.
Crime thriller enthusiasts are already looking forward to the film’s release because of its intriguing premise and eerie setting. The combination of missing children, local myths, and a determined investigator creates the perfect recipe for a suspenseful mystery.
The franchise is based on the bestselling novels by Małgorzata Oliwia Sobczak, whose stories have gained a loyal following among readers of crime fiction.
Netflix has scheduled Colors of Evil: Black for release on June 10, 2026. The film will be available globally, giving thriller fans another intense mystery to add to their watchlists.
With its chilling atmosphere, compelling investigation, and deeper psychological themes, Colors of Evil: Black is shaping up to be one of the most anticipated international crime thrillers of the year.
