Searchlight Pictures has released the first trailer for Ready or Not 2: Here I Come, the sequel to the 2019 horror hit. Starring Samara Weaving as Grace, the film picks up right after the original's events and introduces a new deadly game involving her estranged sister Faith, played by Kathryn Newton. The movie is set to hit theaters on April 10, 2026.
Trailer Highlights
The trailer for Ready or Not 2: Here I Come picks up moments after Grace survives the Le Domas family's deadly hide-and-seek game in the 2019 original. Now, she discovers she's entered a larger nightmare, competing for the High Seat of the Council that controls the world. Joined by her estranged sister Faith, Grace must evade four rival families hunting her for the throne.
Elijah Wood's character, a nameless Lawyer, explains the stakes in the trailer: “You’ve caused quite a stir, Mrs. Le Domas. You married into that family, now they’re dead. What you didn’t know is that this goes far beyond them. By surviving Hide-and-Seek, you’ve triggered a new game, this time against the High Council Families, double or nothing. This part will be familiar; they will try to kill you.”
