Announcement
Child's Play 2 was announced in late 2019, when director Lars Klevberg said he'd love to do a sequel if the team was able to. MGM (the distributor of the 2019 Child's Play) gave the team the right budget, and was originally supposed to release in October 2021, but due to the COVID-19 pandemic, it was pushed back to November 2022, and they pushed back to June 2025 and the film is now scheduled to release in 2025...

Casting
Lars Klevberg is once again writing and directing this sequel to the 2019 Child's Play, David Katzenberg and Seth Grahame-Smith return as producers, and Bear McCeary will return for the score.
