In case you didn’t hear, a “Jennifer’s Body” sequel is definitely in the works. Amanda Seyfried had previously hinted as much, and then in October 2025 director Karyn Kusama confirmed that Diablo Cody (“Juno”) was working on the script.
Although it had been hinted at for over six years now, the sequel was never actually confirmed to be in development, let alone greenlit by 20th Century. It still technically hasn’t, but a new listing on Production Weekly now has “Jennifer’s Body 2” set up to shoot in October. So, this sequel might be coming soon.
Released in 2009, “Jennifer’s Body,” which starred Megan Fox, barely made a dent at the box office, but 15 years later—and thanks to home video—the film is considered, in some circles, a horror classic. Seyfried starred as Needy, whose best friend Jennifer (Fox) is sacrificed by the lead singer (Adam Brody) of a band touring through town—she ends up turning into a flesh-eating predator who preys on unsuspecting boys to survive.
Kusama hasn’t directed a film in over seven years. She’s been keeping busy with television projects, serving as an executive producer on “Yellowjackets,” but it looks like “Jennifer’s Body 2” might break that spell. She also has “Stan,” starring Daisy Edgar-Jones and Drew Starkey, percolating in the works. Her notable feature directing credits include “The Invitation,” “Girlfight,” and “Destroyer.”
