The television series will pick up where the film drops off.

Netflix is teaming once again with the film’s producers, Vaca Films, having previously commissioned the company’s thriller series The Mess You Leave Behind.

Sky High tracks a small group of thieves who somehow manage to stay one step ahead of the Madrid police. The feature stars Spanish superstar Luis Tosar and rising stars Miguel Herran and Carolina Yuste.

Casting for the series hasn’t been announced, and it’s not yet clear if the trio will return for the adaptation.
