The release date estimate for Obsession 2 is highly anticipated by fans of the first film. Obsession, which recently hit theaters, has taken the world by storm with its grounded yet creepy and horrifying tale of a wish gone wrong. It continues to perform strongly at the box office, with more viewers flocking to the theaters every week. Meanwhile, those who’ve watched it are curious to know whether a sequel is in development. Well, there’s both good news and bad news.
Here’s what we know so far about the potential sequel.
What is the Obsession 2 release date estimate?
The release date estimate for Obsession 2 is sometime between 2028 and 2029. This is based on the production time of the first film.
Reportedly, the film’s director, Curry Barker, pitched the Obsession’s idea to Tea Shop Productions sometime after releasing his 2023 film, The Chair. He then began casting in August 2024.
Currently, neither the filmmaker nor the production studio has officially announced a sequel. But if it does happen and follows a similar timeline to the original, the sequel may come out sometime in 2028 at the earliest.
Bear in mind that this is just an estimate and not a confirmation. The studio will eventually announce a release timeline when and if it decides to make a sequel. Given the film’s monumental success, a sequel is highly likely.
Obsession 2 news and updates
While fans wait for news about a sequel, the director has ideas about what he wants to do next. He noted that Obsession 2 is possible. However, he is drawn more toward the idea of an anthology series with one-hour episodes. Each episode would focus on different people and their respective wishes going “off the rails.”
Barker also added that he would like to direct the pilot if the anthology series happens. Other filmmakers could helm the remaining episodes (via Total Films).
Currently, it is difficult to know what the sequel’s cast will look like, since it will likely be a standalone story. More details should follow once a sequel is confirmed.
