First trailer promises blood, chaos, and a bigger “eat the rich” war…
Six years after blowing audiences away with her blood-soaked bridal escape, Samara Weaving is officially back as Grace! Searchlight Pictures has dropped the first trailer for Ready or Not 2: Here I Come, reuniting Weaving with Radio Silence directors Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett for a sequel that looks bigger, bloodier, and even bolder in its takedown of the ultra-wealthy.
Set to hit theaters April 10th, 2026, the highly anticipated sequel picks up immediately after the fiery finale of the 2019 original. Instead of finding safety after surviving the Le Domas family’s demonic ritual, Grace awakens in the trailer to discover she’s been kidnapped by a new collection of power players. And guess who? The “high council families”. Their goal? Force her back into a deadly game of hide-and-seek for control of nothing less than the future of the world. And this time, she’s not running alone.
The trailer introduces Kathryn Newton as Grace’s sister, Faith, marking another major addition to Radio Silence’s growing lineup of scream queens. Fans get a glimpse of their brutal new reality: trapped in a labyrinthine mansion, stalked by wealthy fanatics, and confronting the same explosive supernatural consequences that wiped out the Le Domas clan. The footage even teases another grisly self-detonation—a signature callback to the first film’s unforgettable climax—hinting that these new villains share the same hellish pact.
Joining Weaving and Newton is a stacked cast that reads like a horror fan’s dream: Sarah Michelle Gellar, Kevin Durand, Shawn Hatosy, David Cronenberg, Néstor Carbonell, and Elijah Wood. With this lineup and Radio Silence’s proven blend of shock, humor, and social commentary, the sequel is already one of 2026’s most buzzed-about genre releases.
What’s especially exciting is how the sequel expands the world around the original film’s lore. The trailer reveals that Grace wasn’t just a random bride chosen for sacrifice. She’s now a threat to an entire global hierarchy of wealthy, power-drunk families whose influence spans continents. Her survival in the first film wasn’t a fluke; it was an act that disrupted centuries-old systems of control. Now, they want her eliminated for good.
By elevating its “eat the rich” commentary to a worldwide scale, Ready or Not 2: Here I Come positions itself not just as a follow-up, but as a franchise-defining chapter. Radio Silence has already teased that survivors of the ritual games have ripple effects in this universe—meaning the door is wide open for sequels, prequels, and spin-offs exploring other deadly games played by the grotesquely powerful.
With its mix of razor-sharp humor and relentless tension, Ready or Not 2 seems set to give fans exactly what they’ve been waiting for and then some. Grace survived once. But in 2026, the hunt starts all over again… and this time, the stakes are higher than ever.
