The Thinning: New World Order is a 2018 American social science fiction thriller web film and the sequel to the 2016 film The Thinning. 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. 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.
