The recently-released M3GAN, a horror movie about a sentient American Girl doll with a killer AI, has been greenlit to get a sequel, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Titled M3GAN 2.0, the follow-up is slated to hit theaters on January 17, 2025.
The script will be written by a returning Akela Cooper, and actors Allison Williams and Violet McGraw are all slated to return. Williams, who was an executive producer on the original, will now be a producer. The Hollywood Reporter is reporting that director Gerard Johnstone hasn’t signed on yet, but unnamed sources are indicating they’re hoping to strike a deal for his return. Similarly, it isn’t known yet whether Amie Donald or Jenna Davis–the actors who portrayed M3gan physically and voiced the doll, respectively, will be involved in the sequel.
M3GAN has so far grossed $30.4 million domestically on its opening weekend, and has so far brought in $91.9 million worldwide.

Earlier this month, Cooper told the Los Angeles Times that the film originally was much gorier, had a higher body count, and deserves to have an unrated version out at some point in the future. That article also indicated that a sequel was already in development.
