Overview
- Bella Thorne told Alex Cooper on the Call Her Daddy podcast that she wrote the script and is directing the announced Spring Breakers sequel.
- Thorne said producers watched an early cut of her film Color Your Hurt and asked her to write material, and she says that request led to her being hired to oversee the sequel.
- Variety earlier reported that the sequel and its cast were announced in May 2025 and that Matthew Bright had been attached to direct, information that Thorne’s claim would alter if confirmed.
- Thorne says some original producers, including Muse’s Chris Hanley and Jordan Gertner, are involved while Harmony Korine is not participating in the sequel.
- Key details such as formal credits, studio confirmation and a production schedule have not been independently verified, and the claim could affect the sequel’s creative direction and ties to the 2012 original.
