It’s a well-known factor in the horror genre that sequels to horror movies are often rushed out as soon as possible. Sometimes, however, fans have also waited years – if not decades – for some beloved horror movies to receive the sequel treatment. Now it looks like one such sequel to a 2009 cult classic horror movie is in the works.
As mentioned, this title from 2009 has developed a cult following over the years. While it wasn’t particularly well-received when it was first released, and only earned $31.6 million on a $16 million budget, times have changed. The movie’s tone, subject matter, and characters have become quite popular in recent years.
Now, as shared via Amanda Seyfried who was one of several major stars in the film, a sequel is being worked on. While nothing is concrete at this time, it’s still a good sign for fans of this 15-year-old effort. Here’s what Seyfried shared via Bloody-Disgusting:
“I think we’re making another one,” she shared in a TikTok clip, referring to the 2009 film Jennifer’s Body. “I didn’t confirm it! I said, ‘I think,'” with a wink. “We’re working on it!”

Diablo Cody, who wrote Jennifer’s Body, previously stated her efforts to work on a sequel to the film which also starred Megan Fox. In fact, she’s been so eager to keep the property alive, that she even stated her recent 2024 effort Lisa Frankenstein was also set in the Jennifer’s Body universe.
It’s unknown how exactly a sequel to Jennifer’s Body could play out. However, if Cody herself has plans for the property, then she certainly knows how to deliver what fans want. With Hollywood so eager to cash-in on IPs these days, we could see a Jennifer’s Body sequel sooner rather than later.
Stay tuned to ScreenGeek for any additional updates regarding the potential sequel to the 2009 cult classic horror flick Jennifer’s Body as we have them. In the meantime, fans can still enjoy Lisa Frankenstein, which makes a solid companion piece and one that will no doubt also develop its own cult following in the coming years.
