Netflix's The Old Guard follows immortal warriors led by Charlize Theron's Andy. With the sequel now out, here's the order to watch this action franchise.
Based on the graphic novel, The Old Guard follows a team of near-immortal mercenaries who have secretly protected humanity for centuries. Led by the battle-weary Andy β played by Charlize Theron β they grapple with the burden of endless life while a new immortal joins their ranks. The films mix bone-crunching action with a surprisingly thoughtful meditation on legacy, loss, and what it means to keep fighting when you can never truly die.
π Release Order
Release order follows the immortals from Nile's recruitment to their next chapter.
- The Old Guard (2020)
- The Old Guard 2 (2025)
The sequel picks up the team's story directly, so the timeline runs straight forward.
π Story Chronology
Story chronology matches release order, with the sequel continuing after the first film.
- The Old Guard (2020)
- The Old Guard 2 (2025)
Which Order Should You Choose?
Watch The Old Guard (2020) first to meet Andy's team and newcomer Nile, then continue with The Old Guard 2. The sequel builds directly on the first film's revelations and its tantalizing final-scene cliffhanger, so start with the original for the full impact. Skipping ahead would spoil the biggest twist about who among the immortals can still be trusted.
