  • They Follow: It Follows Sequel Is Bringing Back the 1 Person It Couldn’t Lose

    The Ghosts of Success: Disasterpeace and Naomi Ackie Join the Next Chapter of They Follow

    The dark, pulsating world of horror is getting a fresh dose of dread with the upcoming sequel to It Follows, They Follow. But beyond the familiar faces and chilling premise, the filmmakers have confirmed that some of the most essential creative spirits from the original film are returning to shape this new cinematic experience.

    Director David Robert Mitchell has officially announced a major update regarding the soundtrack for the sequel, confirming that the legendary musician and artist Disasterpeace will be composing the score. Mitchell shared his excitement, noting, “I wouldn’t want to do a sequel without him.”

    Disasterpeace’s synth-driven sound was instrumental in establishing the haunting, horrifying atmosphere of the original film, drawing comparisons to classic horror masters like John Carpenter. His work perfectly captured the unsettling mood that defined the first installment, and bringing him back promises a score steeped in familiar yet terrifying sonic brilliance for the next chapter.

    While the musical legacy is being solidified, the cast of They Follow is also expanding. Alongside star Maika Monroe, the sequel will welcome acclaimed actress Naomi Ackie to the ensemble. Ackie, who is set to appear in the DCU’s Clayface film, brings a compelling new dimension to the narrative alongside Monroe.

    The story of They Follow will pick up a decade later, placing the narrative ten years after the events of the original. Production is slated to begin this summer, setting the stage for an epic continuation of one of modern horror cinema’s most iconic stories.

  • It Follows sequel They Follow is “its own unique thing,” and will have a Disasterpeace score

    Three years have passed since the buzz surrounding It Follows exploded, but the wait is finally over as writer/director David Robert Mitchell confirms that the sequel, titled They Follow, is officially gearing up for production. This highly anticipated horror continuation brings back key creative forces, promising a fresh and distinct take on the haunting premise.

    The original film established a chilling premise: after a careless encounter, a teenager learns she is doomed to be relentlessly pursued by Death, who creeps toward her like a phantom friend or stranger. In that world, Jay and her friends must band together to confront the terrifying reality of their curse.

    For this new installment, Maika Monroe steps back into the spotlight as Jay, revisiting the role she first embodied. But the story is evolving significantly. Monroe shared that she felt the script was incredible, noting that this sequel shifts the tone, moving away from the heightened drama of the original to a more grounded, intensely psychological exploration of two women dealing with profound mental struggles.

    Joining Monroe in the narrative is Naomi Ackie, bringing fresh depth to the ensemble. While plot specifics remain under wraps, fans can anticipate a story set a full decade after the events of the first film, deepening the mythology and exploring the lasting impact of the curse.

    Mitchell has assured collaborators that this project is “its own unique thing,” maintaining a core connection to the original while carving out entirely new territory. This artistic confidence is already shining through in the production decisions, which promise an equally striking visual and auditory experience.

    The team behind the camera is assembling some formidable talent. Cinematographer Mike Gioulakis and editor Julio C. Perez IV are returning to bring their signature visual style, while the legendary Disasterpeace is slated to compose the score for They Follow, ensuring the atmospheric dread remains palpable.

    With NEON co-producing the film alongside Good Fear Content, and Mitchell working with Jake Weiner and Chris Bender, the production promises a rich tapestry of cinematic artistry. It seems that the future of this haunting saga is set to be a uniquely unsettling and deeply personal journey.
