Is there a Final Girls 2?

Published in Film Sequels 1 min read

No, there is no official sequel to the 2015 horror-comedy film The Final Girls, meaning Final Girls 2 does not exist.

Why a Sequel Hasn't Happened

Despite the original film's continued popularity since its release, a follow-up movie has not been produced for several key reasons:

  • Financial Performance: The primary obstacle has been the original film's box office performance. While The Final Girls garnered a dedicated fanbase and critical appreciation, it did not generate sufficient revenue to incentivize studios to greenlight a sequel.
  • Studio Interest: Although the film enjoys enduring popularity and a cult following, studios have not shown interest in funding a continuation of the story.
  • Creative Readiness: The creative team behind The Final Girls, including director Todd Strauss-Schulson, has confirmed they had a strong concept for a sequel.
  • Actor Enthusiasm: The cast members from the original film have also expressed their eagerness and willingness to return for a second installment.

Even with a "brilliant idea" for where the story could go and the full support of the original cast and crew, the lack of financial viability from the first film has prevented any studio from investing in a sequel.
