Searchlight Pictures recently announced that horror comedy sequel, Ready or Not 2: Here I Come, had set a theatrical release of April 10, 2026, and we now have our first official look via a series of promo stills courtesy of People.com.
The images feature returning star Samara Weaving as Grace, alongside new co-star Kathryn Newton. We also have a first look at what we assume to be the new family doing the hunting, played by Sarah Michelle Gellar, Shawn Hatosy, Néstor Carbonell, Kevin Durand, Olivia Cheng, David Cronenberg and Elijah Wood.
The Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania and Abigail star's role has not been disclosed, but it seems clear that Newton and Weaving well be forced to play another twisted game of hide and seek while (literally) chained at the wrist.
Radio Silence, aka Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett, return to direct from a screenplay from Guy Busick and R. Christopher Murphy.
Tripp Vinson, James Vanderbilt, Bradley J. Fischer and William Sherak are on board as producers.
"We never dreamed Ready or Not would connect with people the way it has over the past few years and feel so honored to get to step back into Grace’s world," Gillett and Bettinelli-Olpin say. "The original movie really changed our lives in countless ways, and to see Samara back in that character and back in that dress felt really special to us."
"It’s exciting to see Grace into a new f---ed-up situation that deepens her story and her character, and we wanted to make sure that this movie wasn’t just more of the same," they added. "We put a ton of love into this movie to make it a worthy sequel that we’re hoping fans of the first movie — and people who are getting to know Grace for the first time — will really love."
In the first movie, Weaving's Grace marries into the wealthy Le Domas family. As the story progresses, we learn that her new in-laws have made a deal with the Devil that involves a (potentially) deadly wedding night tradition: If the hide-and-seek card is pulled, the game ends with Grace's death.
Grace winds up outsmarting her pursuers (while massacring quite a few of them) and surviving until sunrise, which means Satan is free to collect the Le Domas family's souls in explosively gory fashion.
We're not sure how Grace is going to find herself back in a similar situation, but there is plenty of potential in further exploring the mythology behind Mr. "Le Bail."
"Grace couldn't be happier after she marries the man of her dreams at his family's luxurious estate. There's just one catch -- she must now hide from midnight until dawn while her new in-laws hunt her down with guns, crossbows and other weapons. As Grace desperately tries to survive the night, she soon finds a way to turn the tables on her not-so-lovable relatives."
