The Wretched sequel is on the way, with production set to begin in September in Oregan, per Variety.

Brothers Brett and Drew Pierce will return as writers, directors and producers. In a statement to Variety they said, “It just seems like the right time to bring our Witch back as she was born out of us wanting more from our creature features that we just weren’t getting. We’re going to push this story and the body horror into uncomfortable places.” 

Written and directed by Brett and Drew Pierce, The Wretched “follows a young boy who discovers an evil witch in the nearby woods.”

The sequel will “broaden that scope and the terror to an entire town.”  It will follow a deputy who “is pulled into a rash of missing children’s cases only to discover that the skin-changing Wretch is back and has been preying upon the families of his community for a century.”
