Announced last month, Osgood Perkins and Nicolas Cage are reuniting for a Longlegs follow-up movie, which we’ll be referring to as Longlegs 2 until an official title is announced.
Longlegs 2 will release in theaters January 14, 2028 from Paramount!
Nicolas Cage will star and produce the film, with Osgood Perkins directing.
The new Longlegs film is said to be “set in theLonglegs universe,” so don’t expect a traditional sequel. Plot details, however,are under wraps at this time, but it is confirmedthat Perkins has written the script and will return to thedirector’schair as well as produce.
Also producing are Brian Kavanaugh Jones of Range Media,Chris Ferguson,Perkins’partner at their company Phobos,and Dave CaplanofC2, which financed the initial movie.
InLonglegs,“FBI Agent Lee Harker (Maika Monroe) is a giftednewrecruit assigned to the unsolved case of an elusive serial killer (Cage). As the case takes complex turns, unearthing evidence of the occult, Harker discovers a personal connection to the merciless killer and must race against time to stop him before he claims the lives of another family.”
Released by NEON, Longlegs made $127 million at the worldwide box office back in 2024, with the film’s mysterious marketing campaign credited for hooking audiences.
As you may recall, the appearance of Nicolas Cage was kept completely secret until the film was released, allowing audiences to experience his twisted villain before even seeing so much as a still image of his nightmarish look. It’s unclear how Cage’s Longlegs will be able to return for a follow-up movie, but again, we’re not expecting a sequel in the traditional sense.
