On August 2019, it was announced that Lana Wachowski would be returning to direct the sequel (Lilly Wachowski will apparently not be returning). Lana will co-write The Matrix 4 with Aleksandar Hemon and David Mitchell, and she will be co-producing with Grant Hill. And, as of the time of this post, we have gotten one official trailer for the movie.
The film stars Carrie-Anne Moss (Trinity), Keanu Reeves (Neo), and Jada Pinkett Smith (Niobe) will be returning, along with new additions Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, Neil Patrick Harris, and Jessica Henwick.

Going beyond the three feature films, the hosts explore the world of the Animatrix as well as the Matrix comics and video games that expand on the universe.
