Get ready for more bloody fun! Samara Weaving is officially reprising her fan-favorite role as Grace MacCaullay in the upcoming horror-comedy sequel, Ready or Not 2: Here I Come. This time, the stakes are even higher as Grace finds herself entangled in a fresh, deadly game, with her estranged younger sister, Faith, joining the fray, portrayed by Kathryn Newton.

The film, directed by the acclaimed filmmaking duo Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett—collectively known as Radio Silence—picks up immediately after the chaotic events of the 2019 original. Grace, having narrowly survived her wedding night's gruesome game of hide-and-seek, discovers her victory has triggered an even more expansive and dangerous hunt. Now, the world's wealthiest and most influential families are after her, and she must protect Faith at all costs to survive.

The ensemble cast for Ready or Not 2: Here I Come is packed with familiar faces and new additions, promising an exhilarating ride. Joining Weaving and Newton are genre veterans Sarah Michelle Gellar as Ursula Danforth, Elijah Wood as The Lawyer, David Cronenberg as Mr. Danforth, Shawn Hatosy as Titus Danforth, Néstor Carbonell, Kevin Durand, and Olivia Cheng. The script was penned by returning writers Guy Busick and R. Christopher Murphy. Produced by Tripp Vinson, James Vanderbilt, William Sherak, and Bradley J. Fischer, and distributed by Searchlight Pictures, this sequel is set to premiere at SXSW on March 14, 2026, before its theatrical release on March 20, 2026, in the United States.
