Carry-On has an intriguing successor with an upcoming 2025 horror movie. The 2024 Netflix hit starred Taron Egerton as Ethan Kopek, a TSA agent who is tormented by The Traveler (Jason Bateman), who attempts to use various, increasingly intense, means of manipulation to get Kopek to agree to let a dangerous package through. The movie, which was directed by Jaume Collet-Serra from a screenplay by T. J. Fixman, also stars Sofia Carson, Danielle ᴅᴇᴀᴅwyler, Theo Rossi, Logan Marshall-Green, Dean Norris, Sinqua Walls, and Curtiss Cook.
The movie was a success by almost every measure, beginning with the fact that glowing Carry-On reviews earned it a Certified Fresh score of 87% on Rotten Tomatoes. The Taron Egerton movie also broke Netflix streaming records, earning a place on the streaming service’s all-time Top 10 English-language movies chart within four weeks and eventually landing at No. 2 with 171.5 million viewers, surpᴀssing the Best Picture nominee Don’t Look Up (171.4 million views) and only falling behind the action-comedy Red Notice (230.9 million views). Now, its legacy is set to be continued in an unusual way.

This Is A Unique Cross-Genre Collaboration For Jaume Collet-Serra
The upcoming The Woman in the Yard, which is a Blumhouse horror movie that is set to premiere on March 28, sees Carry-On director Jaume Collet-Serra reuniting with actor Danielle ᴅᴇᴀᴅwyler, who takes the lead role after playing a supporting character in his previous project. Although there are nine overall cast and crew members that the two movies have in common, in addition to Collet-Serra, ᴅᴇᴀᴅwyler is the only actor to appear in both movies. Below, see a breakdown of the only other crew members that the two тιтles have in common:

Collet-Serra is a director who has become known for reuniting with stars of his previous movies after helming a string of Liam Neeson action movies, namely 2011’s Unknown, 2014’s Non-Stop, 2015’s Run All Night, and 2018’s The Commuter. He has also worked twice with Dwayne Johnson, in 2021’s Jungle Cruise and 2022’s Black Adam. However, Danielle ᴅᴇᴀᴅwyler joins Vera Farmiga (Orphan, The Commuter) as one of the rare actors to appear in Collet-Serra movies across multiple genres in addition to becoming the first female actor to play a major role in two Collet-Serra тιтles in a row.
The Woman In The Yard Will Be Nothing Like Carry-On
The Movie’s Tone Is Entirely Different
The Woman in the Yard will be extremely different from Carry-On. While the 2024 movie was a pulse-pounding thriller, the 2025 horror movie will rely on a heavy dose of atmosphere and dread. This is a mode that Jaume Collet-Serra has proven his apтιтude with in previous тιтles such as 2009’s Orphan and 2005’s House of Wax, but it will cement his collaboration with ᴅᴇᴀᴅwyler as one of the most varied of his career. It remains to be seen if they collaborate again in the future, but so far it seems that their working relationship has been tremendously fruitful.
