Inde Navarrette Says She’s Open to an 'Obsession' Sequel

Her willingness and director Curry Barker’s interest keep franchise options alive even though their new projects make a near-term follow-up uncertain.

Overview

  • In mid-October, Navarrette told The Hollywood Reporter she would “totally” be open to returning as Nikki and said the character would likely be beginning a grief process after the first film.
  • Director Curry Barker has publicly discussed either a direct Obsession 2 or an anthology of wish-driven stories and has finished his next film, Anything But Ghosts, which has drawn early praise from Seth Rogen.
  • Timing for any follow-up is unresolved because Navarrette is contracted to play Rogue in Marvel’s X‑Men reboot and Barker is promoting Anything But Ghosts and has other projects on his slate.
  • Obsession’s breakout status — made for under $1 million and reported to have grossed roughly $520–$522 million worldwide — and its cultural footprint have created strong commercial incentives to expand the property.
  • The most concrete next steps to watch are whether studios formally greenlight a sequel or anthology and how the production schedules for Barker and Navarrette align with any announced plans.
