An interesting twist on the summer camp slasher, last year’s Marshmallow felt like if R.L. Stine had written a Friday the 13th movie.
Get ready to go back into the woods, because Variety reports Hemlock Circle Productions is developing a sequel to their indie horror film.
Director Daniel DelPurgatorio, writer Andy Greskoviak (Black Friday), and cast members Kue Lawrence, Kai Cech, Dylan Friedman, and Max Malas will all return.
Set years after the events of the first film, the sequel follows the lingering damage left behind — not just to the world, but to those who survived it. The story descends into far darker territory, expanding the mythology while erasing any remaining sense of safety as the consequences finally come due.
“Marshmallow opened the door to a world that still has a lot of dark corners left to explore,” said Hemlock Circle co-founder Todd Friedman. “We’ve always believed there was more story to tell, and the response from audiences has only reinforced that.”
In the first Marshmallow, 12-year-old Morgan Kim is terrified of summer camp. But when a masked figure from legend comes to life, he must conquer his fears, protect his friends, and uncover Camp Almar’s dark secret before it’s too late.
It’s currently streaming on Shudder, AMC+, and Hoopla.
