PROJECT DETAILS:
Previously had a April 10th then a March 27th 2026 theatrical release.

Filmed in Toronto, Canada. 

Directors Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett had a recent interview where they revealed that the story "goes hand in hand with the first in an unexpected yet seamless way."  Adding... "it’s exciting to see Grace into a new fucked up situation that deepens her story and her character, and we wanted to make sure that this movie wasn’t just more of the same. We put a ton of love into this movie to make it a worthy sequel that we’re hoping fans of the first movie — and people who are getting to know Grace for the first time — will really love." (12/1/25)

Actor Elijah Wood spoke briefly about the movie, revealing some new details including the fact that it apparently takes place immediately after the end of the first movie. Here's what he had to say: "What I love about this sequel is that it really deepens that mythology, so I’m stoked for people to see it. It’s a movie that takes place almost immediately after the first one ends and enriches everything you love about the original film." (8/29/25)

One of the film's producers spoke about the sequel in a recent interview, detailing why they decided to finally pursue a sequel, saying: "There are a couple of different ways we are doing it. I don’t want to give anything away. It’s so early, and there is so little out there. What I will say is one of the reasons it has taken a minute to make this sequel was that we were really hard on ourselves on not just repeating what the first movie was, but also, not losing the sauce of what the first movie was. It’s interesting because there’s a debate all the way through as to what is real and what is not. That is answered at the end of the first movie, so you can’t put that Le Bail back in the bottle. What Guy Busick and R. Christopher Murphy do in this script is incredibly smart. As soon as they pitched it, it was, ‘Of course that’s what it is. That’s a great idea.’ It’s such a great way to tell this story. I am so excited for people to see it."

He goes on to reveal a bit on what fans can expect from the movie, saying: "I think it’s safe to say we expand the mythology without explaining the entire mythology. I don’t know if that sounds exciting, but it’s exciting to us. I think it’s the right amount of worldbuilding, while still telling an amazing emotional story. We felt so privileged that people embraced that movie, that we didn’t want to revisit it if it was going to kinda be like, ‘Oh, look. They did it again.’ We were all okay leaving it be if we didn’t come up with something that we felt added to it, or in some ways, topped it. We are all really excited about what it is going to be."

Previous co-director Tyler Gillett spoke about the project recently, saying: "It's getting figured out. That's what we'll say: Ready or Not 2 is getting figured out. What we can say is that there is a script that is an absolute fucking banger of a sequel. And however it gets made, and in whatever capacity we are helping get it made, we are so excited that it's happening. That movie is truly the love of our creative lives in a lot of ways." Adding... "I don't think we knew after making it that there would be so much story left to tell. We're so proud of what that first movie is, we're so proud of what the sequel is. We're just really excited, and fingers crossed that it gets made." (4/15/24)

Adam Robitel (The Taking of Deborah Logan, Insidious: The Last Key) is reportedly directing.

Star Samara Weaving is said to be returning.
