It has also been confirmed that Spencer has signed on to reprise her role as the titular killer. At the moment, the project has no director, new cast members, and production start date attached to it yet.

What did Blumhouse boss say about Ma 2?

“Ma has proven to be a social phenomenon since its release in 2019, with fans eagerly embracing the film and Octavia’s iconic performance as Ma,” Blumhouse CEO Jason Blum said in a statement. “Ma likes to say ‘don’t make me drink alone,’ so we’re thrilled Octavia will join us again for a second round.”

The original movie was directed by Tate Taylor from a screenplay written by Scotty Landes. The cast also included Juliette Lewis, Diana Silvers, Corey Fogelmanis, Gianni Paolo, McKaley Miller, Luke Evans, Missi Pyle, Allison Janney, Dominic Burgess, and more. During its theatrical run, the movie earned a worldwide gross of over $61 million. Despite initially receiving mixed reviews, the first installment went to receive a cult following.

“A lonely middle-aged woman befriends some teenagers and decides to let them party in the basement of her home. But there are some house rules: One of the kids has to stay sober, don’t curse, and never go upstairs,” reads the original movie’s synopsis. “They must also refer to her as Ma. But as Ma’s hospitality starts to curdle into obsession, what began as a teenage dream turns into a terrorizing nightmare, and Ma’s place goes from the best place in town to the worst place on Earth.”
