Samara Weaving stans, the time has come. Ready or Not 2 is officially a go.
The 2019 horror film’s star and creative heads are set to return for a follow-up with Searchlight pictures after years of rumors (and fan pleading), according to the Hollywood Reporter. The filmmakers didn’t unveil any details on how the next film will revisit Weaving’s iconic bloody bride, however.
The first Ready or Not — featuring a killer cult-like family hunting Weaving’s gun-wielding newlywed character across their eerie estate — was a surprising hit, making more than $57 million worldwide. The now series is helmed by Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett of production company Radio Silence, also behind the rebooted Scream sequels and this year’s vampire ballerina flick Abigail.
« I’m all in, » Weaving told ComicBook.com about the team’s eagerness for the follow-up film. « I don’t know if we’ve had our blood handshake, but pretty much. We’ve done the spit handshake, but we haven’t cut each other’s hands and rubbed our blood together. »
Production and principal photography dates haven’t yet been announced.
