Jennifer's Body Sequel Poised for October Shoot as Writer Wraps Script

The Production Weekly listing could move the cult property toward production despite no formal greenlight from 20th Century Studios.

Overview

  • An industry listing first reported on Monday places Jennifer's Body 2 on a Production Weekly schedule to begin filming in Vancouver in October 2026, but the listing is not a studio confirmation.
  • Screenwriter Diablo Cody has said she wrote or finished the sequel script and described the process as freeing and shaped by the original film's later reassessment.
  • Multiple outlets report Megan Fox is expected to reprise Jennifer Check while Amanda Seyfried has publicly supported a sequel but has not been formally attached.
  • Director Karyn Kusama's return has not been confirmed and 20th Century Studios has not issued an official greenlight or announced a release date.
  • The original 2009 film flopped at the box office before gaining cult and queer-fan followings, and a sequel could reshape how the property is marketed and received by those fans if production moves forward.
