Overview

  • The film premiered on Netflix in June 2026 and is available to stream now.
  • Colors of Evil: Black follows prosecutor Leopold Bilski as he is posted to a Kashubia town where a child's disappearance exposes long‑hidden local secrets.
  • Critics say the sequel is grimmer and more intense than 2024's Colors of Evil: Red and many reviews praise Jakub Gierszał's restrained performance.
  • Reviewers caution the movie does not shy away from disturbing subject matter, runs about 110 minutes, and sometimes leans on predictable plot beats even as it sustains a heavy, oppressive atmosphere.
