Followed by the announcement of the fourth film, Netflix added the franchise consisting of Pitch Black, The Chronicles of Riddick, and Riddick. The franchise was released on the streaming giant on March 16, 2023. And within a week of its release, the 2013 film in the franchise, Riddick, made it to its top 10 trending shows and movies.

While the film failed to shine at the box office and received negative reviews from critics, it was another hit for the fans of the franchise and The Pacifier star. The first film under the franchise, Pitch Black, became a cult classic and a sequel for the 2000 film, The Chronicles of Riddick, was released in 2004 followed by a threequel, Riddick, in 2013.

Twohy and Vin Diesel have suggested that the next film will focus on the origin of Riddick, where he is expected to explore his homeland of Furya. He has vague memories of the place, and once he gets there, he learns about the struggles other Furians are going through.

The film is also expected to introduce some new characters as it explores Riddick’s homeland. The storyboard shared by the Find Me Guilty star on his Instagram has also led fans to speculate multiple things.

The Riddick franchise is available to stream on Netflix.
