Kathryn Newton Joins “Ready or Not 2”

“Freaky,” “Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania” and “Big Little Lies” actress Kathryn Newton has joined the cast of Radio Silence’s “Ready or Not” sequel.

Written by Guy Busick and R. Christopher Murphy, the original 2019 dark comedy horror hit starred Samara Weaving a young newlywed who learns of her new family’s wedding night ritual: pulling a card from a puzzle card game.

If someone draws the Hide and Seek card, as she does, then a murderous game is played, all in order to appease an ancient family deal with the devil. Adam Brody, Henry Czerny and Andie MacDowell co-starred.

Made for $6 million, “Ready or Not” grossed over $28 million domestically and scored strong reviews and strong home entertainment revenue. Radio Silence consists of Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett who co-directed the first film, and Chad Villella who executive produced it.

The same writers and directors are back for the sequel, as is Weaving who will again lead the film. The project marks Newton’s second collaboration with Radio Silence following last year’s “Abigail”.

Tripp Vinson, Bradley J. Fischer, William Sherak and James Vanderbilt are returning as producers but plot specifics are under wraps.
