New 2025 Update Revives Talk of 'The Grinch 2' With Jim Carrey

Overview

• A low-key 2025 online update has reignited speculation about a potential sequel featuring Jim Carrey’s return as the Grinch.
• No studio or cast commitments have been announced, and fake 2023 “announcements” about a sequel highlight the need for caution.
• Carrey has recently shown more openness to sequels through his Sonic the Hedgehog role, even indicating willingness for a fourth film if the story fits.
• New prosthetics and digital effects could ease the grueling eight-hour makeup process Carrey previously described as excruciating.
• The Grinch remains a valuable holiday asset for Universal, with strong merchandise sales, seasonal streaming, and park meet-and-greets supporting the commercial case for a follow-up.
