Overview
- Jemaine Clement said at the Annecy festival that he and Taika Waititi have moved the long‑discussed sequel into active writing, confirming the work has recently begun.
- The story will center on the rival werewolf pack led by Rhys Darby’s Anton, shifting perspective away from the original vampire roommates.
- Clement told Collider that the filmmakers are undecided about making the movie largely improvised like the 2014 film or mostly scripted like the later TV series.
- The team estimates the script could be completed around 2027 and says writing pace depends on logistical factors such as Clement and Waititi being in the same country.
- The announcement recalls the original film’s low‑budget, improv roots and contrasts with the six‑season FX series that ran through 2024 and used a mostly scripted format.
