Ready or Not: Here I come! That’s not just a fun thing kids say while playing hide-and-seek. It’s also now the official title for Ready or Not 2. The sequel to the hit 2019 horror comedy from directors Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett (Radio Silence) was announced with much anticipation late last year with star Samantha Weaving (The Babysitter) returning alongside genre vet Kathryn Newton (Freaky). Now it’s been revealed that cameras have started rolling on Ready or Not: Here I Come in Toronto with a slew of casting announcements. The latter of which is headlined by slasher icon Sarah Michelle Gellar (I Know What You Did Last Summer) and Elijah Woods (The Monkey).

Reported by Deadline, Gellar and Woods will join the new cast with Shawn Hatosy, Néster Carbonell, Kevin Durand and David Cronenberg. The last name on this list is another standout as Cronenberg has directed such genre classics as The Fly (1986), Scanners and Videodrome. This is also a reunion for Durand, Newton and Radio Silence, who all worked together on last year’s underrated vampire flick Abigail. If that wasn’t enough, Durand and Gellar starred together in Scooby-Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed, where the former took on the role of the infamous Black Knight Ghost. President of Searchlight Pictures, Matthew Greenfield, expressed his excitement, saying:

“We’re beyond excited to make another film with the phenomenal Radio Silence. With Ready or Not: Here I Come, we get to go on another ride with the amazing Samara Weaving, mix in awesome new voices, and bring audiences a fresh take that’s every bit as twisted and fun as the first one. This is for those who’ve been waiting, and those who didn’t see it coming.”
