It’s been over a decade since the release of Karyn Kusama’s cult classic horror film, Jennifer’s Body, but the buzz around a possible sequel has never died down. And now, it seems like fans may finally get their wish.

At a recent Toronto screening for her new film Seven Veils, actress Amanda Seyfried dropped a major hint that a Jennifer’s Body sequel might be in the works. According to sources at the screening, confirmed in a TikTok uploaded by @thefriendlystranger, when asked about the possibility of a sequel, Seyfried coyly replied, “I think we’re making another one.

For those who may not remember, Jennifer’s Body follows the story of Anita “Needy” Lesnicki (Seyfried) after her best friend Jennifer (Megan Fox) becomes possessed by a demon and starts wreaking havoc on their small town. Despite its talented cast and unique twist on the horror genre, the film was met with mixed reviews upon its release in 2009. However, over the years, it has gained a dedicated cult following and has been praised for its feminist themes and sharp dialogue.

Given the film’s growing popularity, it’s no surprise that fans have been clamoring for a sequel for years. And Seyfried’s recent hint has only fueled the excitement. The actress, who has gone on to star in numerous successful projects, including Mamma Mia! and Les Miserables, has always been open about her love for the film and her character, Needy.

In an interview with Collider in 2019, Seyfried expressed her interest in reprising her role in a sequel, saying, “I would love to see a sequel. I would love to see what Needy does after the fact, I think it would be really interesting. I think it would be really cool to see her come back as a badass.”

The impact of Jennifer’s Body on the horror genre and pop culture cannot be ignored. With its sharp dialogue and strong female characters, the film has become a cult favorite for horror fans and feminists alike. It has also gained a new appreciation in recent years, with many critics and fans recognizing its unique approach to the horror genre.

If a sequel does become a reality, it would not only satisfy the long-standing demand of fans but also give Seyfried the opportunity to revisit and further develop her beloved character. And with the current trend of reviving cult classics and reimagining popular franchises, a Jennifer’s Body sequel could be a major success.

As we eagerly wait for more updates on the potential sequel, one thing is for sure – fans of Jennifer’s Body have a lot to be excited about. With Amanda Seyfried’s hint and the growing popularity of the film, it seems like the sequel might just be a matter of time. And until then, we can only hope for more winks and teasers from the talented actress.
