The Bubble Ending Explained (In Detail)
WARNING: Spoilers ahead for The Bubble!
Netflix’s The Bubble features an aptly meta ending for its chaotic film production story, seeing the characters reunite for an unexpected premiere. Filled to the brim with references to and parodies of modern film franchises, The Bubble sees a group of actors and production staff attempt to film the sixth installment of the fictional Cliff Beasts series, though under the prison-like confines of the production “bubble” in order to avoid COVID-19 exposure. While trying to make a film about flying dinosaurs in a desolate location, the characters in Netflix's 2022 movie are subject to their own personal action-filled story as they become virtually trapped in the confines of the hotel and set.
Featuring cameos from actors like John Cena, Daisy Ridley, and James McAvoy, The Bubble’s ridiculous meta commentaries on filmdom, celebrity, and the inner workings of franchise productions reach every corner of the modern industry. While it begins with the typical COVID-19 protocols of testing and quarantining for two weeks, The Bubble’s ending approaches with near-death experiences, various attempts to shut down production, contagious illnesses, and failures of communication as issues with Zoom inevitably delay production. In the end, the cast of Cliff Beasts 6 successfully avoids the intense security measures and escapes the prison of the hotel via helicopter, reuniting two years later for a documentary about the making of the sequel.
