While The Kiev Exchange is clearly being set up as a spinoff set in this fictional universe, presumably Mile 22’s sequel will have closer ties to the movie that’s kicking all of this off.
Following Mile 22’s release, STXsurreal will put out The Kiev Exchange, a short-form, live action VR series that follows Ground Branch, the CIA’s elusive paramilitary force, being sent to negotiate a hostage exchange in a public square, only to have to fight their way out of an ambush.
Initially, it may sound weird at first to move ahead with a sequel to Mile 22, a movie that isn’t based off an existing property and hasn’t even been reviewed yet, apparently it’s always been the plan for this movie to be the first installment in a franchise.
