Octavia Spencer is back for a sequel to the psychological horror thriller, Ma, in which she starred in 2019. Blumhouse announced that the follow-up film is in development, and that Oscar winning actress Spencer would return as Sue Ann, the lonely woman with a dark side.

In Ma, an isolated woman befriends a group of teens, allowing them to use her basement for parties. Yet things take a sinister turn as she begins implementing a series of strict rules for the kids hanging out at her house, including never venturing upstairs. Perhaps a little oddly, Blumhouse stated at its business of fear event that part of the reason they greenlit a sequel for Ma was due to the number of memes inspired by the film, interpreting that as a sign that the feature has staying power in pop culture.

Ma has proven to be a social phenomenon since its release in 2019, with fans eagerly embracing the film and Octavia’s iconic performance as Ma. Ma likes to say ‘don’t make me drink alone,’ so we’re thrilled Octavia will join us again for a second round,” said Jason Blum.

There’s no word yet on who might direct or write the sequel. Stay tuned for more.
