Alan Ritchson may be re-enlisting in the service.

Netflix is working on a sequel to “War Machine,” the sci-fi, military-themed action film that has been a viewing juggernaut for the streamer. Ritchson played a staff sergeant who comes face-to-face with a fearsome, supernatural killing machine while undergoing a simulated mission.

Patrick Hughes, who oversaw “The Hitman’s Bodyguard” and “The Hitman’s Wife’s Bodyguard,” will return to direct the sequel. Hughes will also co-write the script with James Beaufort and will produce along with Todd Lieberman through his Hidden Pictures, Range Media Partners’ Rich Cook, Patrick Hughes’ producing partner, Greg McLean, through Huge Film banner. Alex Young will also produce for Hidden Pictures. Valerie Bleth Sharp will serve as executive producer.

It’s unclear what the plot of the follow-up feature will be, but “War Machine” ends in an open-ended way. Ritchson is best known for his performances in Amazon Prime Video action thriller series “Reacher” and for playing Hank Hall/Hawk on the DC Universe and HBO Max series “Titans.” No mention was made if Ritchson will return. The first film’s ensemble includes  Dennis Quaid, Stephan James, Jai Courtney and Esai Morales.

Since debuting on Netflix on March 26, “War Machine” has received 139 million views, making it one of the top ten most popular original films to ever bow on the streamer. The film currently sits at number ten but may hit ninth place as the streamer continues to count views up until the 91 day measuring mark. Reviews were mixed with some critics praising the film for its escapism and action and others faulting it as formulaic.
