Hollywood actress Amanda Seyfried has confirmed her involvement in the upcoming sequel to Jennifer’s Body, revealing that the follow-up to the 2009 horror comedy is planned for next year.
In an interview with WWD published on Wednesday, the Mean Girls star said she was looking forward to working again with the team behind the original film.
“The Jennifer’s Body sequel is definitely on my calendar for next year because I love that team,” Seyfried said. “It was such a special experience, and I think we have a good shot at making something just as special.”
Her comments follow recent remarks by screenwriter Diablo Cody, who indicated that the long-awaited sequel was moving closer to production.
What Made the Original Film a Cult Favourite?
Released in 2009, Jennifer’s Body starred Megan Fox as Jennifer, a high school student who becomes possessed by a demon and begins killing her classmates.
Seyfried played Needy, Jennifer’s best friend, whose relationship with her takes a dark turn as the supernatural events unfold.
Although the film underperformed commercially upon its initial release, it gradually developed a dedicated cult following. Its mix of horror, dark comedy and themes surrounding female friendship has helped it attract renewed attention over the years.
The film’s growing popularity has kept interest in a potential sequel alive among fans.

Her comments suggest that the sequel could offer a deeper examination of Jennifer’s experiences while retaining the dark elements that defined the original film.
