Thanksgiving 2: The Return of Terror

Dive into the chilling details of Thanksgiving 2, the sequel to Eli Roth's holiday horror splatter flick. Discover the returning characters, plot possibilities, and the potential release date.

Eli Roth's holiday horror splatter flick, Thanksgiving, brought terror to Turkey Day, satirizing consumerism during the holidays with a slasher film that was well-received by critics. Now, a terrifying sequel, Thanksgiving 2, is on the horizon.

Thanksgiving 2 is confirmed and will likely continue with the same characters, including the masked villain John Carver. The original Thanksgiving was a classic revenge slasher in which a crazed axe-wielding murderer stalked the town of Plymouth, Massachusetts, seeking vengeance for a violent Black Friday shopping riot.

The sequel is expected to be a direct continuation of the first film, with the return of surviving characters such as Jessica (Nell Verlaque), Gaby (Addison Rae), Bobby (Jalen Thomas Brooks), Ryan (Milo Manheim), and Scuba (Gabriel Davenport). The actors have hinted at character development being a key focus in the sequel.

While Thanksgiving 2 does not yet have a confirmed release date as of February 2024, Roth noted that it would be "probably around Thanksgiving" in his announcement video. It's possible that the release date in the US would be Friday, November 21, a week before Thanksgiving (November 27, 2025).

Eli Roth, famous for his gory genre films, announced the sequel news on Instagram in late November 2023, shortly after Thanksgiving's release in cinemas. He revealed that they were going to take a year "to really get the script right", promising to out-do themselves and make the sequel better than the first one.

With Thanksgiving 2 slicing into cinemas next year, fans are eagerly awaiting the return of the terror. As we look forward to the sequel, one thing is certain - Thanksgiving will never be the same again.
