It Follows sequel They Follow announced with Maika Monroe and David Robert Mitchell returning

October 31, 2023 by Ricky Church

Nearly 10 years after It Follows was released and became a new horror favourite, a sequel to the film has officially been announced with Neon revealing They Follow as the title. Director David Robert Mitchell and It Follows lead Maika Monroe will both return for the sequel.

It Follows was released in 2014 and saw Monroe as Jay, a high school student who discovers a supernatural entity is following her. The entity is passed on through intercourse with Jay’s boyfriend passing it on to her after they had sex for the first time. The only way the entity will leave Jay alone – and allow her to live – is if she has sex with someone else and passes it onto them.

Mitchell and others involved in the film have previously teased a sequel through the years, but nothing has ever come of it until now. The story is being kept under wraps, but Tom Quinn, CEO of the production company Neon which will produce They Follow, once teased a sequel could see Jay and others who have been affected by the entity try to follow it back to its source and end it once and for all.

It’s everywhere.

Neon will present They Follow to buyers at AFM, the American Film Market, this week and will produce the film alongside Good Fear Content. Returning with Mitchel are It Follows producers David Kaplan, Erik Rommesmo, Rebecca Green and Laura Smith with Good Fear’s Jake Weiner and Chris Bender.

They Follow will begin production in 2024.

Care-free high school student Jay Height (Maika Monroe – Independence Day: Resurgence) has just started dating a ‘nice’ guy – Hugh (Jake Weary – Zombeavers), but they have sex, everything changes and life will never be the same again…

When she wakes up, she’s tied up in a deserted parking lot, where Hugh reveals his dark and disturbing secret… he’s passed on something unimaginable… a deadly curse that will see her relentlessly pursued by evil… A shape-shifting force It follows its victims and will stop at nothing to kill them. The only way to escape, is to pass it on to another person through sex…
