READY OR NOT 2 (2025) – Samara Weaving
Ready or Not 2 is the highly anticipated sequel to the 2019 dark comedy-horror hit Ready or Not. Directed by Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett of Radio Silence, the sequel reunites Samara Weaving with the creative team that made the original film a success. While the exact release date has not been confirmed, the film is expected to hit theaters in late 2025, following its official announcement in October 2024 during a special screening of the first movie.
The original Ready or Not was a surprise box office success, grossing $57.6 million worldwide on a modest $6 million budget. Its blend of horror, humor, and social commentary earned it critical acclaim, with a Certified Fresh rating of 89% on Rotten Tomatoes. The sequel aims to build on this success, with Samara Weaving reprising her role as Grace, the bloodied bride who survived the deadly game of hide-and-seek against her in-laws.
The plot of Ready or Not 2 remains under wraps, but speculation suggests it will explore the aftermath of Grace’s survival. The first film ended with Grace watching her in-laws explode after failing to complete their satanic ritual. The sequel could delve into supernatural elements, with Grace potentially inheriting the cursed Le Domas estate or facing new threats tied to the family’s dark legacy. Alternatively, the story might place Grace in a new environment where she must confront another bizarre and violent situation.
