🎥 Ma 2 Is Officially In The Works
There’s more “Ma” madness on the way! Blumhouse is developing a sequel to its 2019 psychological thriller Ma, and Oscar-winner Octavia Spencer is back to reprise her deliciously deranged role as Sue Ann Ellington—a.k.a. “Ma.”
Although the film is still in early development and no director has been attached yet, the news already has fans buzzing.
“Ma has proven to be a social phenomenon since its release in 2019, with fans eagerly embracing the film and Octavia’s iconic performance,” said Jason Blum, CEO of Blumhouse Productions, in a statement.
“Ma likes to say ‘don’t make me drink alone,’ so we’re thrilled Octavia will join us again for a second round.”
🩸 A Look Back At Ma (2019)
The original Ma followed a group of teens looking for a place to party in their small town.
Enter Sue Ann—a lonely vet tech who lets them use her basement for drinking and dancing.
But the good times quickly turn sinister when Ma’s past traumas and current obsessions surface in terrifying ways.
The movie marked a chilling reunion between Octavia Spencer and director Tate Taylor, who previously worked together on The Help.
Despite its modest budget, Ma was a box office success, grossing $61 million worldwide when it hit theaters in May 2019.
And while it had a solid opening, the film’s cult status only grew stronger online.
Ma became a full-on meme queen, inspiring parody posters, viral reaction images, and even a 2020 “Best Ma Meme” contest hosted by Spencer herself.
🧛 Why Ma Still Lives Rent-Free In Our Heads
In May 2024, Ma was handpicked as part of Blumhouse’s Halfway to Halloween theatrical re-release campaign, playing alongside fellow horror faves M3GAN and Annabelle.
And just when fans thought Ma was done, the sequel announcement dropped like a shot of tequila at a high school basement party.
The reveal happened during Blumhouse’s first-ever Business of Horror event in Hollywood—co-hosted by Atomic Monster—where the studio laid out its next spine-chilling chapter.
