In a Violent Nature sequel in development

In a Violent Nature distributors Shudder and IFC Films announced a second part to the slasher film at the ongoing San Diego Comic-Con. Chris Nash will come back to write and direct the sequel. Peter Kuplowsky and Shannon Hanmer will produce it. The film is still in its early phase of development, so the makers are yet to reveal further details about its plot. They have released a teaser poster, though.

The 2024 original follows the violent deeds of Johnny (Ry Barrett), a bloodthirsty killer in the vein of Jason from the Friday the 13th films.

Scott Shooman, the Head of AMC Networks Film Group, the organisation that owns Shudder, stated, “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. With the sequel, we aim to prove that Johnny can be bigger, meaner, and his kills can only get more impressive.”

On the other hand, Kuplowsky stated, "In a Violent Nature 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. 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.”
