Coming soon! https://t.co/dlVrMUG4yV pic.twitter.com/KwxJpQtnwUJuly 26, 2024 According to producer Peter Kuplowsky, it “was originally conceived as a meta-sequel within a fictional slasher series, so we were always imagining mayhem beyond the scope of the original film.” The statement continued: “That we now have the opportunity to continue following Johnny on his restless walk has us feeling incredibly grateful to our incredible partners at IFC Films/Shudder who believed in Chris' vision from day one. We are thrilled to return for a new chapter and are excited to deploy Johnny as a conduit to further experiments in the genre.” “In a Violent Nature demonstrated that there continues to be a yearning for new perspectives in the horror landscape. We knew immediately that this distinctive take on the slasher would enthrall fans and are glad to see the community embrace a new slasher icon in Johnny,” head of AMC Networks' film group Scott Shooman said (viaVariety). “With the sequel, we aim to prove that Johnny can be bigger, meaner, and his kills can only get more impressive.” Having released in US theaters in May, and UK cinemas in July, In a Violent Nature arrives on Shudder later in the year.
