Is there anyone out there who asked for a sequel to 2016’s The Boy? No? Well, one is on the way.

Via Variety, The Boy 2 is on the way from STX and Lakeshore Entertainment, and it will be headlined by Katie Holmes. William Brent Bell will be back to direct, and Stacey Menear is back to pen the sequel’s screenplay.

The early word on the follow-up reads:

Unaware of the terrifying history of Heelshire Mansion, a young family moves into the estate, where their young son soon makes an unsettling new friend, an eerily life-like doll he calls Brahms.

Sure, The Boy wasn’t all that bad, but was a sequel ever particularly demanded or needed?

Expect more on this as it continues to develop.
