Earlier this year, Sarah Michelle Gellar signed on for Hulu’s Buffy the Vampire Slayer revival. Now, Gellar is getting back to her horror roots in Ready or Not 2, the sequel to the cult 2019 film. And the sequel is also getting a new name.
Via Variety, the follow-up film is now titled Ready or Not: Here I Come. Samara Weaving starred in the original movie and she is returning to headline the sequel. In the first film, Weaving’s Grace married into the wealthy Le Domas family through her husband, Alex (Mark O’Brien). Because the Le Domas family struck a deal with a devil years before, Grace had to endure a lethal game of Hide and Seek in order to survive. The ending of Ready or Not was fairly conclusive, so it’s unclear how the premise will continue the story.

The Lord of the Rings trilogy star Elijah Wood is also joining the cast alongside Kathryn Newton, Shawn Hatosy, Néstor Carbonell, Kevin Durand, and David Cronenberg. Radio Silence aka Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett are returning to direct the sequel alongside the first film’s screenwriters, Guy Busick and R. Christopher Murphy.

Matthew Greenfield, the president of Searchlight Pictures, shared a statement of his own about the sequel.
“We’re beyond excited to make another film with the phenomenal Radio Silence. With Ready or Not: Here I Come, we get to go on another ride with the amazing Samara Weaving, mix in awesome new voices and bring audiences a fresh take that’s every bit as twisted and fun as the first one. This is for those who’ve been waiting, and those who didn’t see it coming.”
Searchlight Pictures hasn’t set a release date for Ready or Not: Here I Come. But the sequel will begin filming next week in Toronto.

Star Wars: Visions is getting a new spin-off series
Star Wars: Visions is back with a third season, and it's getting a new spin-off series inspired by its stories. If you aren't familiar, Visions is an animated anthology of different short stories, each told in a self-contained way. You don't need to know much about the overall lore to enjoy these one-off tales, and many notable studios — including the excellent Studio Trigger, known for the anime Delicious in Dungeon and Kill la Kill — have contributed to the series.
At Star Wars Celebration Japan, Lucasfilm's James Waugh announced another set of nine Visions episodes coming October 29, 2025. He also said the series would get a spin-off that would focus on fan-favorite characters Kara and Juro and invited The Ninth Jedi writer Kenji Kamiyama onto the stage to discuss the upcoming spinoff.

The Last of Us showrunners break down season 2’s game-changing episode 2
There are massive spoilers ahead for The Last of Us season 2, episode 2. Steer clear if you haven't seen this week's episode!
HBO's adaptation of The Last of Us seemed to intentionally downplay Kaitlyn Dever's Abby in the promotion for the second season possibly because she's such a divisive figure in The Last of Us Part II. In both the game and the show, Abby has a grudge against Joel (Pedro Pascal) for murdering her father and she vowed revenge. In the second episode of season 2, the show brought Joel's final fate to the screen as Abby beat him to death in front of a horrified Ellie (Bella Ramsey).
