READY OR NOT 2: HERE I COME Sets Release Date and First Look at Samara Weaving and Kathryn Newton — GeekTyrant
Searchlight Pictures has officially wrapped production on the highly anticipated horror-comedy sequel Ready or Not 2: Here I Come , and we've got our first peek at what's to come. A behind-the-scenes image and video have dropped, showing returning scream queen Samara Weaving, bloodied, of course, handcuffed to newcomer Kathryn Newton ( Abigail, Freaky ). The sequel is set to hit theaters on April 10, 2026, and the BTS looks shows that Grace (Weaving) is once again be dragged into another nightmarish game of survival, this time, tethered to someone else. Newton's role hasn't been revealed yet, but judging by that handcuff, these two are going to be in it together, whether they like it or not. The film is being helmed once again by Radio Silence duo Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett, who are fresh off their work on Scream and Abigail. The screenplay comes from Guy Busick and R. Christopher Murphy, the same creative team that gave the original Ready or Not its razor-sharp bite. The movie also stars Sarah Michelle Gellar, Shawn Hatosy, Néstor Carbonell, Kevin Durand, Olivia Cheng, along withDavid Cronenberg and Elijah Wood . The first Ready or Not followed Grace, who marries into the ultra-rich Le Domas family, only to discover their wedding night includes a 'play-or-die' tradition, thanks to a deal with the Devil. Grace survives the night, while her in-laws don't. They explode. It was amazing! Now the big question is… how does Grace get pulled back in? And will this sequel dig deeper into the creepy cult mythology around Mr. Le Bail? With Grace still alive, there's clearly unfinished business. You can check out the first image and a short video with Weaving and Newton. It's not much, but it's enough to get excited about what's coming next.
