Is there a Scary Stories to Tell In the Dark 2 release date?
Scary Stories to Tell In the Dark 2’s release date could arrive by 2025 at the earliest.
The sequel to Scary Stories to Tell In the Dark officially went into development at Paramount Pictures in April 2020. It was announced that André Øvredal was returning as director and Dan and Kevin Hageman as screenwriters. Guillermo del Toro, who co-wrote the screen story of the original, was slated to return as producer.
Speaking to IGN in August 2023, Øvredal assured that the sequel was still in active development. “We have a story,” the filmmaker said. “We have a script. We’ve been working on the script as late as last year and even slightly into this year. The process obviously stopped with the strike — but it’s alive, for sure. COVID and then The Last Voyage of the Demeter eating up two years of my life certainly put a dent in the progress.”
The impact of the Hollywood strikes on the project was confirmed by Dan and Kevin Hageman during an interview with Collider, though they declined to provide any additional information. “All I’m saying is we’re in conversations talking about how to keep this franchise alive. We’re fighting a good fight for it so that hopefully someday we’ll see it,” Kevin Hageman told the outlet.
As both the writers’ and actors’ strikes have ended, there is a significant possibility for the film to go into production in the following year. If that happens, Scary Stories to Tell In the Dark 2 can come out in 2025 at the earliest.
This date is an estimation based on the information we have at the time of this writing.
The cast includes Zoe Margaret Colletti as Stella Nicholls, Dean Norris as Roy Nicholls, Michael Garza as Ramon Morales, and more.
