An official follow-up is on the way, though no creatives are confirmed.
Last year's The Black Phone, an adaptation of the Joe Hill short story of the same name, is confirmed to be getting a sequel from Blumhouse Productions, as IndieWire revealed that the sequel has a 2025 release date. The movie was directed by Scott Derrickson, with both he and Hill teasing that there were plans to expand the universe with either a sequel, prequel, or spinoff, but this report doesn't contain any information on whether either creative will be involved.
While speaking with ComicBook.com, Derrickson did address whether he would like to return for a proper The Black Phone sequel, with the director offering the condition, "It's possible. It's not a definite thing, but if it does become definite, you'll be the first to hear ... I can tell you this much, I wouldn't make a Black Phone sequel without Ethan. I don't think there'd be any point in doing that.
In the movie, Hawke plays a kidnapper and murderer of children, with Derrickson previously expressing that he's not particularly interested in learning more about how Hawke became the monster we met in that film.
