Diablo Cody Is Writing a 'Jennifer's Body' Sequel, Director Karyn Kusama Says

No studio has greenlit the project or set a cast despite the original’s cult revival.

Overview

  • Karyn Kusama told Deadline that Diablo Cody is "working on it right now" and that what she’s heard "sounds fun and crazy like the first film."
  • Kusama said she knows "some of the bones" of the story but declined to share details, expressing full confidence in Cody’s script.
  • Outlets note there is still no studio greenlight or formal financing announcement for the follow-up.
  • Entertainment Weekly previously reported Amanda Seyfried’s enthusiasm for returning and her comment that producer Mason Novick is attached, though no casting is confirmed.
  • The update arrives as the 2009 film continues to be reappraised as a cult favorite after an initially poor, mis-marketed release.
