Perri and John discuss the exciting news of Maika Monroe and David Robert Mitchell's return for the reported sequel titled They Follow, a follow-up to the popular film It Follows.

Neon has recently announced that the project is moving forward, with production slated to begin in 2024.

While it is uncertain whether Steven Spielberg, one of the co-writers and producers of the 1982 film, will be involved in the series, executives from Amblin Entertainment will serve as executive producers. Details about the project are scarce, with only the connection to the Freeling family's universe being confirmed. This news raises questions about how it will tie into the original film and what the series format will bring to the franchise.

Editor's P/S
As a Gen Z fan, I am thrilled to hear about the sequel to the 2014 horror film "It Follows." The original movie was a critical and commercial success, and I am excited to see where the story goes next. The return of Maika Monroe and David Robert Mitchell is a great sign, as they were both integral to the success of the first film. I am also curious to see how the sequel will expand on the mythology of the film and introduce new elements to the story.
The announcement of a new Poltergeist series set in the same universe as the original film is also exciting. The Poltergeist franchise is one of the most iconic horror franchises of all time, and I am eager to see what a new series will bring to the table. I am particularly interested in seeing how the series will connect to the original film and whether it will feature any of the original characters.
