Get ready to run again.
The first official images from Ready or Not 2: Here I Come have been released, confirming that the highly anticipated sequel to 2019’s cult-favorite horror thriller is officially on the way, with the date April 10, 2026 theatrical release now locked in. The exclusive first look, gives fans a fresh glimpse of Samara Weaving back in the blood-stained spotlight, and the energy already feels chaotic, violent, and unmistakably Ready or Not.
Weaving reprises her role as Grace, the resilient bride who turned an entire murderous family’s ritual on its head. The new sequel brings her back into a world where survival isn’t just instinct, it’s destiny. Alongside her, the sequel introduces a powerful roster of new cast members: Kathryn Newton, Sarah Michelle Gellar, and Elijah Wood, expanding the universe with a blend of young energy, horror royalty, and seasoned genre icons.
Directors Radio Silence, who helmed the original film, are returning once again, and early comments from the team promise that this second installment will push the boundaries even further. While the first film played as a wicked home-invasion nightmare wrapped in dark humor, the sequel is leaning into a grander, more unhinged terror. The filmmakers describe it as a “heartfelt reunion covered in blood,” assuring fans that the spirit of the original remains intact even as the world grows wider and more dangerous.
The newly released photos echo that sentiment: Grace looks as fierce as ever, weapons raised, stance determined, a woman who has survived the unthinkable and refuses to run from the nightmare she once escaped.
If the first film redefined what modern horror-comedy could look like, Ready or Not 2 seems poised to twist the knife even deeper. As the 2026 horror calendar begins to take shape, this sequel is already emerging as one of next year’s most anticipated genre releases.
Grace is back.
The game begins again.
And this time, survival comes with new rules.
