NEON is bringing a sequel to It Follows. David Robert Mitchell returns to write and direct the follow-up to the film, They Follow.

Speaking with Collider, Maika Monroe (It Follows, Longlegs) spoke a little about the upcoming film, which will see the return of her It Follows character, Jay Height.

“[It Follows] was changing the game in the genre, and he wouldn’t ever make a sequel if he didn’t think it was going to top it. He just knows what he wants to do and what he wants to make. I mean, at first I’m like, ‘Oh, a sequel? Where are we going to go here?’ And I read it, and it’s just so fucking good. It’s so good.”

Monroe continues, “I’m so excited. I think where you’ll meet Jay at this point is maybe not what’s expected, but it’s so cool. It’s just, of course, as everyone says for sequels, literally, though, is just bigger and darker and more fucked up. Reading it was the craziest thing ever.”

“I am so excited for this role. It’s been a long time since I’ve been this excited to delve into something. There’s a lot there to play with, and I think it’s going to be incredibly challenging, for sure, but so fulfilling. Working with David, I can’t wait,” Monroe also tells the site.
