Paramount Pictures is teaming up again with filmmaker Alexandre Aja to make Crawl 2

Calling all horror fans, we need your attention! We have some very good news to share. This just in: a sequel to the 2019 box office hit Crawl is in the works at Paramount Pictures with French filmmaker Alexandre Aja (The Hills Have Eyes, Piranha 3D) back to direct. More on this upcoming horror film below.

Titled Crawl 2, the sequel is reportedly in development at Paramount, with Andrew Deutschman and Jason Pagan (Paranormal Activity: The Ghost Dimension and Project Almanac) writing the screenplay. As mentioned above, Aja, who directed and produced the first film, will helm the sequel. He will be producing alongside Craig Flores and Sam Raimi, who also produced the first movie. In addition, Gregory Levasseur and Zainab Azizi are signed as executive producers.

Unlike Crawl, which centered around a father-daughter duo trying to survive a gator attack while trapped inside their Florida home during a hurricane, Crawl 2 will see a switch of locations to the Big Apple, aka New York City. It will also feature a brand-new cast. No actors have been cast yet, though. However, we do know of a potential filming start. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the cast and crew are looking to start shooting the sequel in Europe this fall.

If production does actually get started in the fall, that means we should be hearing of new cast additions soon. Once those cast announcements get to rolling, you'll be the first to know.

Unfortunately, this is all that's been revealed about Crawl 2 so far. As we learn new information about the sequel, we'll be sure to share everything we found. But for now, we recommend checking out some of Aja's previous work, such as the sci-fi thriller Oxygen, which can be streamed on Netflix right now. Besides Crawl 2, Aja's upcoming projects include the survival horror film Never Let Go starring Halle Berry. It's set to be released in theaters on Sept. 27, 2024.
