Released by A24 in 2018, the horror film "Hereditary" stands as one of the most unsettling masterpieces in recent cinematic history. Produced on a modest budget of around $10 million, it went on to gross over $87.8 million worldwide, achieving both critical acclaim and box office success. The film also cemented writer-director Ari Aster's status as a visionary new talent. For years, most assumed there would be no further spin-offs from the film, but Aster recently delivered a surprising update.

In a recent interview with the US entertainment website Gold Derby, Aster unexpectedly revealed that he has, in fact, been developing a prequel to "Hereditary." He stated that he had written a prequel story for "Hereditary" but always felt it wasn't the right time to bring it to the screen. He clarified that it was a prequel, not a sequel, and he wasn't sure how the story would unfold. Currently, this prequel appears to be in the very early stages of development and is clearly not slated for release anytime soon. Furthermore, Aster is already scheduled to direct "Scapegoat," starring Scarlett Johansson, this year. Fans eager for more stories from the "Hereditary" universe will undoubtedly have to wait.
