After five years of waiting, we finally know when we’re getting a sequel to the 2019 cult favorite Ready or Not. In a tweet announcing a wrap on production, Searchlight Pictures announced that the sequel, appropriately titled Ready or Not 2: Here I Come, will hit theaters on April 10, 2026.
After directing last year’s Abigail, Radio Silence — the duo of Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett — is back to direct the sequel to the 2019 film, with Weaving reprising her role as Grace, the young bride quickly turned widow after her fiance’s family drew a card in a deadly game that made her the target. (Too bad she got to everyone else first.) Newcomers to the film include Kathryn Newton and Kevin Durand, both of whom worked with Radio Silence on Abigail, as well as Shawn Hatosy, Néstor Carbonell, Elijah Wood, scream queen Sarah Michelle Gellar, and David Cronenberg making a rare on-screen appearance.
As anyone who’s kept an eye on horror for the last couple of years will know, this certainly isn’t Weaving’s first time in a horror franchise. In addition to the first Ready or Not, she also played a small role in Radio Silence’s Scream VI, where she featured as Ghostface’s first victim of the film. Her extensive genre credits also include The Babysitter and its sequel, Killer Queen, Azrael, and this year’s Borderline, as well as the Evil Dead television series, Ash vs. Evil Dead.
What Newton’s role in Ready or Not 2 will be is anyone’s guess, but Weaving’s definitely got some competition. Not only has Newton previously worked with Radio Silence on their vampire epic, but she also led last year’s Lisa Frankenstein, a neon-colored take on Mary Shelley’s classic, as well as Freaky, Christopher Landon’s 2020 body-swap slasher.
Ready or Not 2: Here I Come hits theaters on April 10, 2026. Stay tuned to FANGORIA for more details.
