The much-anticipated sequel doubles the murderous fun.

Searchlight Pictures brings READY OR NOT 2: HERE I COME to theaters nationwide March 20. Directors Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett, screenwriters Guy Busick and R. Christopher Murphy and star Samara Weaving all return from the much-loved original, joined by Kathryn Newton (FREAKY), BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER’s Sarah Michelle Gellar, Shawn Hatosy (THE FACULTY), Nestor Carbonell and genre favorites Elijah Wood and David Cronenberg. The synopsis: “Moments after surviving an all-out attack from the Le Domas family, Grace [Weaving] discovers she’s reached the next level of the nightmarish game—and this time with her estranged sister Faith [Newton] at her side. Grace has one chance to survive, keep her sister alive, and claim the High Seat of the Council that controls the world. Four rival families are hunting her for the throne, and whoever wins rules it all.”
