Ready or Not 2 raises the stakes as Samara Weaving returns in horror sequel

Ready or Not 2: Here I Come is set to arrive in UK and Ireland cinemas on 20ᵗʰ March 2026, with Samara Weaving reprising her role as Grace in the follow-up to the 2019 horror hit.

Directed once again by Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett, the sequel picks up after the events of the original film, with Grace now pulled deeper into the deadly world she narrowly escaped. This time, she is joined by her estranged sister Faith, played by Kathryn Newton, as the stakes escalate into a wider and more dangerous game.

The story sees Grace fighting not just for survival, but for control, as multiple rival families hunt her in a deadly contest tied to a powerful ruling council. What began as a single night of terror expands into something far more complex, with higher stakes and a broader mythology.

The cast includes Kathryn Newton, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Shawn Hatosy and Elijah Wood, alongside Néstor Carbonell, Kevin Durand and David Cronenberg.

Writers Guy Busick and R. Christopher Murphy return to pen the script, with producers Tripp Vinson, James Vanderbilt, Bradley J Fischer and William Sherak also back on board.

Following the success of the original film, which blended horror with dark comedy, the sequel looks to expand its world while retaining the chaotic, survival-driven energy that made Grace a standout genre heroine.
