“Ready or Not 2: Here I Come,” the sequel to Searchlight’s 2019 horror hit “Ready or Not,” will hit theatres on April 10, 2026.
Samara Weaving is reprising her role of Grace, joined by Kathryn Newton, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Elijah Wood, Shawn Hatosy, Néstor Carbonell, Kevin Durand, Olivia Cheng, and David Cronenberg.
Much of the creative team from “Ready or Not” is returning for the sequel, including directors Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett, as well as writers Guy Busick and R. Christopher Murphy.
Production designer Andrew Stearn (“The Umbrella Academy”), director of photography Brett Jutkiewicz (“Scream”), costume designer Avery Plewes (“Scream VI”) and makeup head of department Colin Penman (“The Apprentice”) also return.
New additions to the crew include editor Jay Prychidny (“Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice”), hair department head Ryan Reed (“It Chapter Two”) and sound mixer Thomas Hayek (“Thanksgiving,” “The Boys”).
“Ready or Not” stars Weaving as a young bride who marries into a family of ultra-wealthy devil-worshippers intent on killing her before sunrise in a murderous game of hide and seek.
The movie, which also included Adam Brody, Andie MacDowell and Henry Czerny, cost only $6 million but earned $28 million domestically, becoming Searchlight’s biggest release of 2019.
