Eli Roth delivered a horror hit in 2023 with the release of the holiday slasher movie Thanksgiving. Amid the movie’s success, Roth went ahead and announced that he was moving forward with an official sequel. However, after more than two years later, Thanksgiving 2 has still not started production with no release date on the board.
Recently speaking with Variety, Roth shared an update on Thanksgiving 2. He reiterated that everyone on the team is still eager to get the movie made, but the project isn’t yet quite ready to start filming. The director hinted that the hold-up will be aligning everybody’s schedules, leaving it still unclear when the sequel will move forward. Reportedly, production was postponed due to star Addison Rae’s current concert tour and co-star Milo Manheim’s casting in a live-action Tangled remake.
“Everybody wants to do it,” Roth explained. “I’m gonna have it locked and loaded, and we’ll find a time when we’re all available. We’ll just go back for a few weeks and have fun.”

Roth himself is keeping busy as well. He is currently working on post-production on his upcoming horror movie Ice Cream Man, which is expected to be released this year. In June, Roth is also set to start filming on another hororr project, Don’t Go in That House, Bitch!, which will star hip hop icon Snoop Dogg. There’s no telling when everybody will get on the same page for Thanksgiving 2.
No release date has yet been set for Thanksgiving 2.
