Ready Or Not 2: Here I Come
The announcement of a sequel to 2019’s cult favourite Ready or Not was met with cautious optimism, but the newly released trailer for Ready Or Not 2: Here I Come has instantly quelled any concerns. Set for release in cinemas on 10th April 2026, the footage reveals that directors Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett are not merely rehashing the original's successful formula but dramatically expanding the scope of their gleefully bloody game.
The genius of the original film lay in its tight, single-location premise: a lethal game of hide-and-seek gone wrong. The sequel trailer opens by confirming that Grace (Samara Weaving) did indeed survive the horrifying ritual of the eccentric Le Domas family. However, her relief is short-lived. The stakes have been brutally elevated, moving the conflict from a single night of domestic terror to a global conspiracy involving a shadowy cabal known as the High Council. Grace learns that by surviving, she has inadvertently triggered a new, high-stakes game of "double or nothing."
Visually, the trailer suggests a significant jump in production scale. The gothic interiors of the Le Domas mansion have been traded for slicker, more expansive backdrops, hinting at the involvement of the four rival families now hunting Grace. The frantic editing, characteristic of Bettinelli-Olpin and Gillett’s work on films like Scream VI, promises a breathless, action-heavy experience. There is still a clear injection of the dark humour that defined the first film, but the underlying threat feels more professional and far-reaching. The trailer successfully balances the familiar terror of the hunt with the new, intriguing elements of world-building, culminating in a sequence where the rival hunters are formally introduced to the "game."
Samara Weaving, who became an instant horror icon with her performance as the bloodied, kick-ass bride, returns as Grace, bringing that same manic energy. Crucially, she is joined by Kathryn Newton as her estranged sister, Faith. This new dynamic adds a fresh emotional core to the high-octane violence, as Grace is tasked not only with her own survival but with keeping her sibling alive—a mission complicated by the fact that the winner claims the High Seat of the Council, granting control over the world.
The supporting cast list is nothing short of exceptional, providing an impressive genre pedigree. The inclusion of Sarah Michelle Gellar, Shawn Hatosy, and Elijah Wood signals a clear commitment to casting talent capable of handling the film's sharp comedic and violent shifts. Even legendary director David Cronenberg makes an appearance, rounding out a cast that promises top-tier performances in this expanded narrative. With original writers Guy Busick and R. Christopher Murphy returning, the script is guaranteed to retain the sharp wit and genre savvy that made the first film a breakout success.
In summary, the trailer for Ready Or Not 2: Here I Come establishes a new, thrilling chapter. It’s a sequel that dares to go bigger, transforming a single family’s twisted tradition into a full-scale, world-controlling bloodsport. Based on this footage, fans can look forward to a cinematic event that is every bit as inventive, chaotic, and bloody good fun as its predecessor.
