At 114 million views, the new Fifty Shades Darker trailer broke view records left and right, letting the world know that fans are ready for the next installment of this series. But to make things even more intriguing, producer Dana Brunetti promises that this sequel will be even better than the first.

Brunetti has been working on this film with James Foley on the last two installments of the Fifty Shades of Grey trilogy. The two have also worked together to film the Netflix hit original series House of Cards, which Brunetti said helped the pair make this sequel different.

"James Foley has done an amazing job," Brunetti told Vanity Fair. "We shot both films [Fifty Shades Darker and Fifty Shades Freed] at the same time. He shot most episodes of House of Cards, and we do most of those at the same time, so I think people are going to be able to view the movie the same way they might a show like House of Cards. It' going to be a lot of fun.

Of course creator E.L. James, so is a self-proclaimed tease when it comes to her stories, agreed that she believes that fans are going to love the next installments. If the viewing number for the trailer have anything to say about it, she might be right.

Fans of the series will be glad to see returning favorites Jamie Doran and Dakota Johnson as Christian Grey and Ana Steele. In this film they are joined by Rita Ora, Bella Heathcote, Kim Basinger, Marcia Gay Harden, and Hugh Dancy. Basinger will be playing the role of former flame Elena Lincoln, aka "Mrs. Robinson," who is supposedly responsible for turning Grey into the man he is.

The sequel will hit theaters on February 10, 2017, just in time for Valentine's Day.
