"2019's Ready or Not combined the rich, evil in-laws of Get Out with the deadly game of cat and mouse seen in countless other horror stories. The movie follows Grace (Samara Weaving) on her wedding night, which quickly takes a dark turn as her new husband's family forces her into a lethal game of hide-and-seek. But she survives, of course, and has her epic Final Girl bloody cigarette moment."
""This time, against the High Council families," he says, before Grace sees a new crowd of powerful people played by the likes of Sarah Michelle Gellar and Shawn Hatosy. Grace refuses to play, so the Lawyer reveals the stakes involved: if she refuses, her sister Faith (Kathryn Newton) will be murdered in front of her. The only way out is for the sisters to survive another game of hide-and-seek, with "double or nothing" stakes."
Grace survived the original family's lethal hide-and-seek ritual and celebrated with a bloody Final Girl cigarette moment. Winning the first game triggered a new, broader contest against the High Council families, pitting her and her sister Faith against multiple powerful clans. A man known as the Lawyer explains that refusal invites immediate murder of Faith, forcing the sisters into a double-or-nothing rematch. New opponents include influential figures portrayed by Sarah Michelle Gellar and Shawn Hatosy. The original curse stems from an ancestor's bargain with a mysterious stranger, requiring ritual hunting of drawn brides on each wedding day. The sequel premieres Spring 2026.
