Ryan Coogler's acclaimed supernatural horror film Sinners is officially getting a sequel. Warner Bros. has listed Sinners 2 as “in development” in Production Weekly, with Coogler expected to return as director . This development comes after the original film's impressive box office performance, grossing over $340 million worldwide .
Initially, Coogler expressed a desire for Sinners to stand alone, stating he wanted the film to feel like a “full meal” and not necessarily the start of a franchise . However, the film's success and the open-ended nature of its mid-credit scene—which jumps to 1992, showing an older Sammie reuniting with Stack and Mary, who survived as vampires—left the door open for further exploration .
While Coogler is currently occupied with other projects, including a reboot of The X-Files, the listing of Sinners 2 in development indicates a shift towards expanding the Sinners universe. Fans have expressed mixed reactions, with some eager for a continuation and others preferring the original to remain a standalone piece .
As the project progresses, audiences can anticipate how Coogler will build upon the rich world he established in Sinners, blending horror, music, and historical context into a compelling narrative
