- Deadline reported Wednesday that Naomi Ackie is now confirmed as a co-lead and ten supporting actors were added, including Jackie Earle Haley, Michael Gandolfini and Justine Lupe.
- Mitchell is writing and directing the Neon-backed sequel with Maika Monroe returning to her original role.
- Key creative collaborators from It Follows are reuniting on the project, with Mike Gioulakis as cinematographer, Julio C. Perez IV editing, and Disasterpeace composing the score.
- Neon has acquired worldwide rights and will handle the U.S. theatrical release while Neon International manages foreign sales.
