Once the first Underworld proved to be a surprise success, the second half of Selene the Death Dealer’s quest for the truth behind the war between vampires and Lycans was quickly put before film cameras, resulting in the quintessential January movie, 2006’s UNDERWORLD: EVOLUTION. Nick and Scott are in unknown waters on this FRANCHISOGRAPHY as they weather the twists and turns of this franchise for the very first time!
