Development

[edit]

In April 2015, Radius-TWC co-president Tom Quinn announced that the studio was looking into a possible sequel to It Follows (2014).[1] Quinn has expressed the idea of flipping the concept of the first film around, with Jay or another protagonist going down the chain to find the origin of "it."[2]

On October 30, 2023, it was announced that a sequel, entitled They Follow, was in pre-production with writer-director David Robert Mitchell and star Maika Monroe returning. Neon, Quinn's second film studio, would produce and distribute the film domestically.[3][4] In June 2024, Monroe said the film would begin principal photography in 2025, and that it would be set ten years after It Follows.[5] In October 2025, Monroe revealed that filming would begin in 2026.[6]
