10 Horror Sequels That Were Just Confirmed
These horror sequels are actually happening.
Few if any movie genres love sequels quite like horror, because if fans love a single horror film, there's a good chance the money-folk are going to go back to the well again and again until viewers are just about sick of it.
It's basically what the genre built its name on, after all.
And while sequels are the lifeblood of both horror and the film industry as a whole, it can be easy to lose track of what's actually happening and what isn't.
But in terms of the horror genre in particular, these sequels were all recently confirmed.
Whether audiences were expecting them or not, they're all absolutely happening, whether being formally confirmed by the studio, given a release date, or perhaps even having gone before cameras already and being pretty much ready for release.
Some of these sequels have been so long-anticipated that fans had basically started to lose hope a while ago, and yet others never really seemed like they'd ever materialise at all.
And yet, each of these horror sequels is indeed coming in the near-future, as will be music to the ears of their fans...
10. Final Destination 7
Even the most optimistic of fans couldn't have expected Final Destination Bloodlines to do as well as it did, between rave reviews from critics and a $285.3 million box office haul, marking a dual high for the franchise.
It was just a matter of time before a seventh film was officially confirmed then, but rather than announce it mere days after Bloodlines' phenomenal opening weekend at the box office, New Line Cinema waited the better part of three months.
Indeed, only at the start of August was Final Destination 7 finally given the formal nod, with Bloodlines' co-writer Lori Evans Taylor set to pen the script.
It remains to be seen whether directors Zach Lipovsky and Adam Stein will return, though if they do, Stein has already remarked that the creative process takes several years.
And so, it's unlikely that Final Destination 7 will be a 2026 rush-job release. Instead, hopefully New Line will appreciate they've successfully rejuvenated a dormant IP and take a few years to make the next one the right way.
