Actress Maika Monroe has provided another update on They Follow, the sequel to It Follows that was announced back in 2023.
“Rumors have been spreading that it will be happening,” Monroe tells EW. “I would stay positive, because I’ve heard some good news recently.”
Monroe will reprise her role as Jay Height, who was pursued by a supernatural entity in the 2014 modern horror classic. A decade later, the threat is everywhere.
“It’s not at all what I expected, where you would find Jay, which I thought was really interesting,” Monroe continues. “I was like, ‘Whoa! Cool,’ which I think the audience will probably have a similar reaction.”
She adds, “I know this might sound cliché, but it’s staying true to the original where we’re bringing back all the same team… The story is very much still in that space, but it’s just grander. I’m really, really excited for it.”
Writer-director David Robert Mitchell is back at the helm. Composer Disasterpeace is in talks to return as well.
Neon and Good Fear Content are producing the sequel.
Monroe previously said of the script, “I felt the original is a little more heightened and dramatic, and this I think is really quite grounded and sort of follows the story of these two women that are just mentally dealing with a lot.”
While we wait for They Follow, Maika Monroe can be seen in the new Resident Evil Requiem short film.
