Overview
- They Follow announced a major casting update on Wednesday, July 15, 2026, with Deadline reporting ten new actors including Jackie Earle Haley, Michael Gandolfini and Justine Lupe.
- Maika Monroe is set to return as the lead and Naomi Ackie has been confirmed in a starring role, expanding the film’s principal cast beyond the original ensemble.
- David Robert Mitchell is writing, directing and producing the sequel, which is described as taking place a decade after the events of It Follows.
- Neon has secured worldwide rights and Neon International will handle foreign sales, and production is expected to start this summer according to reports; the film is also reported to feature a new score by Disasterpeace but that detail has limited sourcing.
- The sequel follows the 2015 original’s critical and box-office success and the reunion of Mitchell and Monroe suggests the project will preserve creative continuity while broadening scope through a larger cast.
