In an interview on IndieWire, director Eli Roth revealed that filming of Thanksgiving 2 will begin in March 2025, with a release scheduled by the end of the year.
The film is a sequel to Thanksgiving, the cinematic extension of the fake trailer of the same name featured in Grindhouse - Death Proof (2007) by Quentin Tarantino/Robert Rodriguez.
The story is going to be a continuation of the first chapter, with both Nell Verlaque and Rick Hoffman expected to reprise their roles. Verlaque played final girl Jessica, while Hoffman played her character’s father, Thomas Wright.
The screenplay will be by Eli Roth himself in collaboration with Jeff Rendell.
The cast also includes Patrick Dempsey, Addison Rae, Jalen Thomas Brooks, Milo Manheim, Nell Verlaque, Gina Gershon ("Chucky") and Rick Hoffman (Hostel).
Plot of Thanksgiving: after a Black Friday riot ends in tragedy, a mysterious Thanksgiving-inspired killer terrorizes Plymouth, Massachusetts, the birthplace of the infamous holiday.
