Gina Rodriguez stars in "Awake" in its central role, and therefore would most likely be a key component of a hypothetical sequel. Rodriguez's IMDb page currently lists two upcoming projects. First, Rodriguez is slated to star in legal drama "Bobbie Sue" in its central role (via Deadline). After that, Rodriguez is scheduled to play the titular role in a new live-action adaptation of "Carmen Sandiego." Ariana Greenblatt and Lucius Hoyos, the actors who portray Jill's children in "Awake," both have at least one upcoming project lined up. Reuniting these three central cast members for an "Awake 2," then, couldn't happen any time soon, at the very least.
That said, an "Awake" sequel wouldn't necessarily have to feature the same characters, but could rather tell an entirely new story in a world where humans have lost the ability to sleep. From this perspective, the single most important factor becomes the first movie's performance. While viewership numbers have yet to be released, and may not ever be, given Netflix's general reluctance to do so, reviews have not been kind to "Awake." The film currently holds a 33% critical score and a 35% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes.
"Awake 2" isn't out of the question, but with the cast's busy schedule and the negative critical reception of the first installment, the prospect of a sequel does not look good at this point.
