Evil Dead Rise 2: Why Fans Think Netflix Will Release a Sequel

As a seasoned gamer and horror enthusiast with over two decades of immersing myself in the realm of the macabre, I can confidently say that the prospect of an Evil Dead Rise sequel has sent shivers down my spine (and not just because of the chilling scenes from the original). The blend of terror, humor, and gut-wrenching gore is a combination that never fails to leave me on the edge of my seat.

The latest hit film, “Evil Dead Rise,” has sparked a frenzy among fans, leading many to speculate that a follow-up may be on the horizon. There’s even talk of it premiering on streaming giant, Netflix. Given its unique mix of horror, gore, and comedy, it’s no surprise that viewers are excited about the prospect of facing more terrors in a potential sequel. As whispers grow louder and excitement builds, we can’t help but wonder: will there indeed be an “Evil Dead Rise 2“?

Here’s everything you need to know about the apparent Evil Dead Rise 2 sequel.

Will Netflix release Evil Dead Rise 2 in the future?

Despite gaining significant popularity lately on Netflix, placing it among the top 10 most-streamed titles, it seems unlikely that Netflix will produce Evil Dead Rise 2 as its sequel.

As a product of Warner Bros., they retain the rights to the movie and any possible follow-ups. But with the film earning over $146 million globally on an initial investment of just $19 million, there’s a strong possibility that Warner Bros. will contemplate making a sequel.

Why an Evil Dead Rise sequel could happen

At the moment, it’s not yet confirmed if there will be a sequel. If a sequel does get green-lit, its release might be postponed if director Lee Cronin, famous for Evil Dead Rise, has other ongoing projects that he can’t abandon.

As reported by The Hollywood Reporter, Cronin’s upcoming venture involves a horror movie titled “Thaw”. This movie portrays the story of a band of maritime survivors who stumble upon a livable town, discovered after the melting of the polar ice caps.

In an interview with Empire, Sam Raimi – the director behind the original Evil Dead trilogy and producer for both Evil Dead and Evil Dead Rise – shared his enthusiasm for another chapter in this horror franchise. He hinted that he’s open to developing either a follow-up to the 2013 reboot or a storyline extension from the events of Evil Dead Rise.

As a hardcore Evil Dead fan, I’m excitedly sharing that Raimi hinted at potential expansions for this epic franchise. He made it clear that these films don’t have to be exclusive, meaning we might see a variety of stories unfold. Plus, he expressed a strong wish to team up with Bruce Campbell and Rob Tapert again – remember the magic we created back in 1978 with “Within the Woods”? That was like a sneak peek into “The Evil Dead”! So, fellow fans, let’s cross our fingers for a reunion that could bring more terrifyingly awesome Evil Dead adventures to life!
