You have to admire the cojones on Ti West. During the pandemic, he wrote, produced, and directed his first horror feature in years, X. Less than six months later, he released a prequel, Pearl. Even though the best directors struggle to stay consistent in horror, West's work received a ton of praise, especially from the dual features' leading lady, Mia Goth.

Since X concludes with our heroine, Maxine Minx, being the sole survivor of a massacre, it seemed like a perfect place to end her story. But Goth's performance was so loved, fans are thrilled to hear she's returning for the follow-up, MaXXXine.

Set five years after the bloody events of X, our titular star finds herself on the road to becoming a Hollywood actress. Although the plot is hush-hush at the moment, it's safe to assume Maxine's quest for stardom doesn't go as planned and will probably involve a LOT of murder.

And based on the phenomenal cast, which includes Giancarlo Esposito, Elizabeth Debicki, Bobby Cannavale, Michelle Monaghan, and Kevin Bacon, it looks like Ti West's X trilogy is going out with one hell of a bang.
