MRC and Lionsgate are collaborating on a sequel to the successful horror-comedy "The Blackening" by Dewayne Perkins and Tracy Oliver. The original film, with a budget of only $5 million, garnered over $18 million at the box office. The story, directed by Tim Story and co-written by Perkins and Oliver, centers on a group of college friends who are terrorized by a killer during a Juneteenth weekend getaway, satirizing horror clichés. Having debuted to a strong reception at TIFF Midnight Madness in 2022, the film is seen as the start of a potential franchise. Though details of the sequel's plot remain undisclosed, Perkins imagines a series with recurring characters, hinting at the inclusion of fresh faces. The success of "The Blackening" is seen by Oliver as a testament to independent filmmaking's viability and empowerment for Black creatives. The original film featured talents such as Antoinette Robertson, Perkins, and Sinqua Walls, with a production team that includes Marcei A. Brown and Jason Clark.
