Uglies is one of the worst-reviewed Netflix original movies in recent memory, but it still managed to stay on top of the Top 10 list for a while. Now it’s been dethroned by a new offering, and the future of it as a potential series remains unknown.

There's a constant stream of new content coming for those with a Netflix subscription, with one of the most recent releases being McG's Uglies. Based on the books of the same name, the sci-fi story offered a unique take on a dystopian YA story.

The Netflix dystopian film Uglies is set in a world where the 'Uglies" are separated from the "Pretties." Where was the 2024 movie filmed?

"Uglies," a film adaptation of the 2005 dystopian book of the same name, is among Netflix's worst-reviewed movies of the year.

A Pretties movie, aka an Uglies 2 movie, has not yet been green-lit by Netflix at this time. However, in a recent interview with Scott Westerfeld, the author said that both he and Uglies movie director McG are on board to make a second movie.

Uglies director McG has responded to fans' biggest issue with the dystopian film starring Joey King.

"Uglies," the new production from Netflix, is not pleasing viewers at all, who are calling the film "the most idiotic of all time."

Fans of the book will know that Uglies is a series, and that the first book ends with a major cliffhanger. In an interview with Decider, Uglies author Scott Westerfeld said he would like to make a Pretties movie for the book’s sequel, but that it will depend on “how many people watch [the first movie], how many times.”

"Uglies" arrived on Netflix's catalog just a few days ago and has already become the No. 1 movie on the platform. Here, check out 10 series of a similar futuristic and dystopian style to see if you enjoy the drama with Joey King.
