David Robert Mitchell's self-penned and directed independent horror film, "It Follows," premiered in 2014 to widespread critical acclaim. The movie launched then-unknown lead actress Maika Monroe into stardom, establishing her as a new-generation scream queen who has since remained active in a string of horror projects, including "Longlegs" and "Watcher." Now, 12 years later, the long-rumored sequel is finally on its way.

Three years ago, Neon Pictures made a surprise announcement that an "It Follows" sequel, titled "They Follow," was in development, with Mitchell returning to write and direct and Monroe set to reprise her starring role. Production was initially slated for 2024, but Mitchell's commitment to "The End of Oak Street", a film due out this August, caused a delay in the shooting schedule until now.
However, according to the latest reports from Deadline, "They Follow" is finally set to begin filming this summer. Naomi Ackie (pictured above), star of the upcoming "Mickey 17," is reportedly in final negotiations to join the cast.
