While Those Who Wish Me Dead was based on a book by Michael Koryta, he also did the screenplay for the film. This gives one hope that a sequel film could be quite possible. A writer being involved in the filming could have them willing to be part of the future installments. The first film does not answer a lot of questions, which leaves Koryta a potential story to build upon. So, there is a huge possibility that if the film does commercially well that Koryta might just start working on a future storyline.
When will Those Who Wish Me Dead Sequel Release?
Those Who Wish Me Dead sequel may be set to be released sometime in mid-to-late 2023. Those Who Wish Me Dead first released on 5th May 2021 in South Korea. After this, the film released in the US and Canada on 14th May 2021. Along with the theatrical release, the film even released on HBO Max, which will be available to watch for 31 days on the streamer. As of now, the filmmakers of Those Who Wish Me Dead haven’t made any official statement regarding a sequel film. And considering the original film was based on a 2014 novel, a sequel will require a new story. The material to this is not readily available. So, making a new novel or a new script will take some time before any filming could begin. This could either be made Koryta alone or with some assistance with scriptwriters. Of course, this would require the sequel to be given a green light by Warner Bros. which could highly depend upon the audience’s response to the original film. If the film happens to be a commercial success, there is no reason for them to hold on until too late to give the green light to the sequel, Therefore the scriptwriting, filming, and editing could all take up to mid-to-late 2023.
