The Thinning: New World Order is a 2018 American social science fiction thriller web film and the sequel to the 2016 film The Thinning.[2] As with the first film, the movie was directed by Michael J. Gallagher and stars Logan Paul as a young man struggling against a dystopian future in which population control is enforced through a school aptitude test. The film was released to YouTube Premium after being briefly shelved due to controversies surrounding its star, Logan Paul.[3] It was generally panned by critics, with its excessive focus on main character Blake as well as lack of interesting themes highlighted as reasons of dislike.
