The highly anticipated sequel Ready or Not 2: Here I Come is set to hit theaters on April 10, 2026, continuing the story almost immediately after the 2019 original ends. Elijah Wood, who recently joined the cast, revealed that the sequel deepens the mythology introduced in the first film, enriching the narrative and expanding on the original's suspenseful and darkly comedic tone. The returning cast includes Samara Weaving reprising her role as Grace, alongside new additions such as Kathryn Newton, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Kevin Durand, and David Cronenberg. Directed by Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett, with screenwriters Guy Busick and R. Christopher Murphy back on board, the film promises a bigger, weirder game for the protagonist. Wood praised the original film and expressed excitement about the sequel, highlighting the strong cast and the creative team's return. The first film was a critical and commercial success, noted for its blend of horror and satire, setting high expectations for the follow-up.
