“Rez Ball” is the new emotional sports drama that just arrived two days ago on Netflix and has already become a trend, particularly due to the standout performances by Kauchani Bratt and Jessica Matten.
The story revolves around the Chuska Warriors, a high school basketball team from Chuska, New Mexico, striving to win the state championship. The plot thickens when they lose their star player.
Sydney Freeland directed the coming-of-age film and co-wrote the screenplay with Sterlin Harjo, based on the bestselling book by Michael Powell published in 2019. Here, check if there will be a sequel…
Will Rez Ball get a sequel on Netflix?
“Rez Ball” premiered on September 27, and although it has received initial reviews—some of which highlight its cultural representation and emotional depth—it is still too early to determine its future.
As of September 2024, Netflix has not renewed the film or announced plans for a sequel, and it is likely that there will not be a continuation on the streaming platform, given that the story had a conclusive and coherent ending.
The new movie is based on Michael Powell‘s book Canyon Dreams, which explores the importance of basketball in Native American high schools and follows the fictional Chuska Warriors team.
The basketball team faces personal challenges and embodies the spirit of their culture through the sport. They must come together after losing their star player if they want to continue fighting for the state championship.
