Happy Death Day Sequel Snares a Valentine’s Day 2019 Release

Happy Death Day 2U, Blumhouse’s sequel to the surprise hit Happy Death Day, has been given a Valentine’s Day 2019 release date.

Happy Death Day centered on college student Tree Gelbman (Rothe) who slips into a horrific time loop as she relives the day of her murder with both its unexceptional details and terrifying end until she discovers her killer’s identity. The film was directed by Landon (Paranormal Activity: The Marked Ones) and written by noted comic book scribe Scott Lobdell and Landon. The film also stars Ruby Modine, Rachel Matthews, Charles Aitken, Jason Bayle, Phi Vu, and Donna Duplantier.

Landon has reportedly said that the sequel will answer questions about the first installment’s endless time loop. Rothe also mentioned that Happy Death Day 2U will pick up where the first film left off in a “Back to the Future-like style.”
