Writer/Director Jonathan King’s 2006 wacky zombie comedy Black Sheep is getting a sequel with King back at the helm, Deadline reports today.

King will direct the sequel, currently titled Black Sheep 2, from a story he wrote with Matthew Grainger and Rosie Howells.

The filmmaker isn’t the only one back for this sequel to New Zealand’s most successful horror movie; lead actor Nathan Meister returns to the role of Henry Oldfield. Henry is the “sheep-phobic son of a farmer who discovers his twisted older brother has been carrying out dangerous genetic experiences on his livestock, which transform them from docile vegetarians to ruthless, carnivorous killers.” Meister will be joined by new faces on this outing.

As for Sheep 2’s plot, it’ll “follow a young scientist who is convinced that a dangerous new pathogen threatens the population and tracks it back to her hometown – which is located in the shadow of the remote sheep station where the macabre events of the original Black Sheep unfolded.”

Perhaps the most exciting news is that King and Meister will also reunite with Richard Taylor’s award-winning special effects company
