The report claims that director Karyn Kusama and Academy Award-winning screenwriter Diablo Cody are expected to return for the sequel.

Released in 2009, Jennifer’s Body starred Megan Fox as Jennifer Check, a popular high school cheerleader who becomes possessed by a demon after a failed satanic ritual. As Jennifer begins preying on her male classmates, her quiet best friend, Anita “Needy” Lesnicki, played by Amanda Seyfried, realizes she must stop her before more lives are lost. While the film received mixed reviews and underperformed at the box office upon release, it gradually found a dedicated audience through streaming and home media. Today, it is widely regarded as a feminist cult favorite that was ahead of its time. (variety.com⁠)
