🌌🛸 District 10 (2025): The world ends at their doorstep—and hope begins in the unknown.

"They escaped one world. Now they fight to build another—with Earth watching every move."

District 10 returns humanity’s greatest mystery at full force, redefining first-contact with heart-pounding intensity and moral confrontation. Set in the uneasy aftermath of District 9, this sequel drops us straight back into a world fractured by pain, prejudice, and the impossible promise of a new frontier.

Years after Wikus van de Merwe’s transformation and the collapse of Johannesburg’s alien ghetto, the rescued “prawns” have settled into a fragile peace in District 10—a sprawling, off-grid sanctuary beyond South Africa’s borders. They’ve built homes, schools, and a culture rooted in survival. But as their community begins to thrive, Earth’s governments shift from isolation to infiltration: factions demanding assimilation, scientific exploitation, or total eradication.

Neill Blomkamp's District 10 Will Be A Lot Bigger Than District 9

Caught at the center is Nyla, a second-generation prawn born on Earth and fluent in both human and prawn ways. Stung by her parents’ sacrifices—her father died saving a child during the cleanup—she now leads a resistance movement determined to protect her people’s autonomy. Beside her stands Captain Elijah Du Plessis, a conflicted South African soldier who saved Nyla as a child and now questions where his loyalties truly lie.

When a covert strike force launches a raid to kidnap prawn scientists, District 10 fractures from within. Nyla’s fight ignites protests and riots; Du Plessis finds himself torn between military orders and a deeper bond. With tensions flaring, ancient prawn technology activates in the nearby desert—telepathic signals, biological weapons, and the promise of interstellar rescue… or mass destruction.
