"Back for Round 2?" "Yup." Searchlight Pictures has premiered the second official trailer for the action horror sequel titled Ready or Not 2: Here I Come, ready to grace US theaters nationwide this March. It's the eagerly-awaited follow-up to the indie horror hit Ready or Not from 2019, about a bride who fought back when her wedding turned violent. The same directors (known as Radio Silence) and writers are back, but it took them seven years to bring it to life and get it ready to rock.
Moments after surviving an all-out attack from the Le Domas family, Grace discovers she's reached the next level of the nightmarish game – and this time, it's with her estranged sister Faith at her side. Grace has one chance to survive, keep her sister alive, and claim the High Seat of the Council that controls the world. Four rival families are hunting her for the throne, and whoever wins rules it all.
Samara Weaving returns as Grace, joined by Kathryn Newton, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Shawn Hatosy, Néstor Carbonell, David Cronenberg, Elijah Wood (yes!), Kevin Durand, Olivia Cheng, Varun Saranga, and Daniel Beirne. The shorter trailer than the first is packed with even more brutality and all-out violence as the two sisters battle for survival against a bunch of psychopaths. I'm in! It looks like a good time.
Ready or Not 2: Here I Come is once again co-directed by filmmakers Matt Bettinelli-Olpin & Tyler Gillett (aka "Radio Silence"), directors of genre films like Devil's Due, Scream, Scream VI, Abigail, a segment in V/H/S, and the original Ready or Not (2019). The screenplay is written by Guy Busick & R. Christopher Murphy (who also wrote the first film). It's produced by Tripp Vinson, James Vanderbilt, William Sherak, and Bradley J. Fischer. Searchlight Pictures will premiere Radio Silence's Ready or Not 2: Here I Come in theaters nationwide starting on March 20th, 2026 next year. Who's down for Round 2?
