Actor Maika Monroe, famous for her role in the horror movie It Follows, is all set to return in a much-awaited sequel. This sequel, called “They Follow”, is creating a buzz with promises of being “bigger, darker, and more messed up” than the original film. To be honest, this certainly sounds like an exciting but terrifying ride!

Monroe’s Thrilling Return

In the sequel, Maika Monroe is reprising her role as Jay Height, the brave woman who battled a deadly curse in the original film. While discussing the sequel with Collider, Monroe expressed how confident she is about the sequel topping its predecessor. She described the director, David Robert Mitchell, as an individual who knows precisely what he wants to do, refusing several other projects to focus on this sequel. She also added that although she was initially hesitant about a sequel, reading the script completely swayed her. Monroe promises that the sequel is going to be very challenging but equally fulfilling.

Secrecy Surrounding the Plot

The team is keeping details about “They Follow’s” plot a secret, making it even more of an enigma. However, it’s known that filming is scheduled to start by the end of 2024. Mitchell is not only directing but also joining hands with Jake Weiner and Chris Bender of Good Fear Content, as well as the original producers of It Follows, David Kaplan, Erik Rommesmo, Rebecca Green, and Laura Smith for the production. NEON, the film company, is also joining the team as a co-producer for this sequel project.

Revisiting It Follows

To jog your memory a bit, the story of It Follows was all about a teenager- Jay, who learns about a deadly curse that can be passed on to others through sexual intercourse after an encounter with her new boyfriend. When death begins to creep up on her, only a few of her friends believe in the threat enough to help her.
