Get ready to dive back into the blood-soaked, laugh-out-loud world of deadly games and cursed dynasties. The official trailer for Ready or Not 2: Here I Come has dropped, and it looks like the sequel is doubling down on everything fans loved about the first movie: sharp horror-comedy, chaotic family politics, and Samara Weaving in full final-girl fury.
In the first Ready or Not, Grace barely survived her twisted wedding night with the Le Domas family. Now, the sequel picks up moments after that fiery finale, and the stakes are even higher. This isn’t just about surviving one murderous family anymore—it’s about surviving a global power struggle.
The Ready or Not 2: Here I Come trailer wastes no time throwing us back into the chaos. Grace, still bloodied and traumatized, discovers that the “game” wasn’t over when the mansion burned. Instead, she’s advanced to the next level of a centuries-old ritual controlled by a mysterious Council that secretly runs the world. The surprise twist? She’s now a contender for the High Seat of that Council.
The trailer also reveals one of the sequel’s biggest new hooks: Grace is no longer alone. She’s joined by her estranged sister Faith, played by Kathryn Newton. Their dynamic looks like it will drive much of the emotional and comedic core of the movie. Where Grace is hardened, exhausted, and done with everyone’s nonsense, Faith brings a different energy—resourceful but less prepared for just how vicious this world really is.
The sequel expands the mythology in a big way. Instead of one depraved family, Ready or Not 2: Here I Come introduces four rival families, each hungry for the throne. The trailer teases a globe-spanning conspiracy feel, blending occult horror with a twisted version of secret-society politics. What started as a terrifying game of hide-and-seek has evolved into a battle royale for control of the entire planet.
One of the most exciting aspects of this trailer is the cast. Samara Weaving returns as Grace, instantly recapturing the mix of rage, vulnerability, and dark humor that made her character iconic. Kathryn Newton steps in as Faith, promising a fresh, chaotic sisterly dynamic that should keep the sequel from feeling like a retread.
The supporting cast is stacked with horror, thriller, and cult-favorite icons. Sarah Michelle Gellar’s presence feels like a love letter to genre fans, while Elijah Wood and David Cronenberg bring their own unique genre cred to the mix. Néstor Carbonell, Kevin Durand, Shawn Hatosy, Olivia Cheng, Varun Saranga, and Daniel Beirne round out a line-up that suggests every faction of this deadly Council war will have memorable faces behind it.
Visually and tonally, the trailer makes it clear that Ready or Not 2 is leaning into bigger and bolder set pieces. Instead of one creepy mansion, we glimpse multiple locations, elaborate traps, ritualistic chambers, and brutal confrontations. The signature blend of splatter, tension, and pitch-black humor is intact, with quick cuts between violent mayhem and perfectly timed one-liners.
What really stands out is how confidently the sequel evolves the premise. Rather than redoing the wedding-night game, it escalates it into a full-blown war among elite families obsessed with power, legacy, and supernatural bargains. Grace’s journey shifts from “unwilling participant” to “reluctant contender,” and the trailer suggests she may be forced to embrace the very system that tried to kill her if she wants to protect her sister and survive.
For horror and thriller fans, this trailer hits a lot of sweet spots: a returning heroine who refuses to back down, a bigger mythology that doesn’t lose sight of character, fresh faces and horror legends in the cast, and that rare balance of scares and savage comedy. Ready or Not 2: Here I Come looks poised to be one of the most talked-about genre releases of 2026.
If you loved the original’s blend of gore, laughs, and class warfare, this sequel’s trailer makes one thing clear: the game isn’t just back—it’s gone global.
