Thanksgiving 2 was officially announced just two weeks after the first film opened in 2023, with TriStar aiming to have it in theaters in time for the eponymous holiday in 2025.
However, the sequel has still yet to enter production due to scheduling issues — including Addison Rae‘s touring commitments and Milo Manheim having just signed to star in the live-action remake of Tangled.
Nevertheless, Eli Roth is confident John Carver will return when the time is right.
“Everybody wants to do it. I’m gonna have it locked and loaded, and we’ll find a time when we’re all available,” Roth told Variety. “We’ll just go back for a few weeks and have fun.”
Roth will return to direct the sequel from a script he co-wrote with Jeff Rendell.
Nell Verlaque and Rick Hoffman are also expected to reprise their roles alongside Rae and Manheim.
“We’re upping the ante but we are not going to do it with more money,” Roth previously teased of the sequel. “I want it to be a challenge to pull off. Because if I’ve come up with the stuff that I think will make the best kills, then I’m going to do it like I’m never going to make another movie again.”
In Thanksgiving, after a Black Friday riot ends in tragedy, a mysterious Thanksgiving-inspired killer terrorizes Plymouth, Massachusetts – the birthplace of the holiday. What begins as random revenge killings are soon revealed to be part of a larger, sinister plan.
While we wait for Thanksgiving 2, Roth is staying busy with his Horror Section Studios projects, including Ice Cream Man and Don’t Go in That House, Bitch! He’s also developing a “Hostel” TV series for Peacock.
