Jennifer’s Body star Amanda Seyfried offers a very positive update on the long-awaited sequel. In the 2009 movie, which follows a demonically possessed high school student who kills and devours her male classmates for survival, Seyfried played Anita “Needy” Lesnicki alongside Megan Fox, who portrayed the тιтular character, Jennifer Check. Initially a box office flop with mixed reception, the movie has transformed into a cult classic over time.

At a Toronto screening of her new movie Seven Veils (via a TikTok shared by @thefriendlystranger), Seyfried offered fans an intriguing update on Jennifer’s Body 2. She hinted that a sequel might be underway, though refused to confirm the news. However, her words were acccompanied by some pointed winking. Check out what she said below:

I think we’re making another one. I didn’t confirm it! I said, “I think.” We’re working on it.

What This Means For A Jennifer’s Body Sequel

Jennifer’s Body 2 Is In The Works

The film’s screenwriter, Diablo Cody, first teased a potential Jennifer’s Body sequel on the 15th anniversary of the movie in 2024. The writer revealed that she’s “not done” with the world and has every intention of making another movie. With Jennifer’s Body finding success more than a decade later, Cody also shared that she wanted to partner with people who believe in the film’s potential and can finance the project.

Seyfried’s comments indicate she’s been a part of some conversations and that a sequel is indeed in the works, though her refusal to confirm the news suggests that there are a lot of uncertainties around the project. So far, there’s no news about Jennifer’s Body 2 being developed by any studio. It’s likely the film is still in the pitching stage. On the other hand, having the original cast involved also means there’s a better chance of Jennifer’s Body 2 happening after so many years of speculation.

Our Take On Jennifer’s Body 2

Jennifer’s Body 2 Has A Higher Chance Of Success

Fox has previously expressed interest in reprising her role in a Jennifer’s Body sequel or TV show. Between Cody’s 2024 comedy horror movie Lisa Frankenstein being set in the same universe and the rising interest in the 2009 film, the time might just be right for the sequel to happen. It sounds like there’s some real development underway, and hopefully, fans will be able to hear more about it soon.

One of the main reasons that Jennifer’s Body initially flopped at the box office was due to the film being marketed to the wrong audience, but over the years, it has found its cult following. Fans praised the movie’s relevance and the way it tells a relatable story through a female’s gaze, as well as its queer themes. With that being said, the sequel isn’t likely to repeat the original movie’s mistakes, and could build upon its true, pᴀssionate audience to create something much more successful.
