The sequel to the 2019 hit horror-comedy film Ready or Not, Ready or Not: Here I Come, has officially begun filming in Toronto. The film will see the return of Samara Weaving, who played the final girl Grace in the original film, and will also feature newcomers Sarah Michelle Gellar and Elijah Wood. The Radio Silence team of Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett will once again direct. Following the critical and commercial success of the first film, fans have been eagerly awaiting the sequel.
Development on Ready or Not 2 has been slow for years, but production was confirmed last October.
