Nell Verlaque And Rick Hoffman Reportedly Returning for Eli Roth's 'THANKSGIVING 2'
Fans of Eli Roth’s latest slasher flick, ‘THANKSGIVING’ is out on home video now and a sequel is already in the works and we have some news that will make many folks thankful.
Sony’s TriStar plans on releasing Thanksgiving 2 in theaters worldwide in 2025, we learned late last year. Eli Roth and Jeff Rendell are back to write the screenplay for the upcoming sequel.
“We’re gonna take a year off so we can really, really write a great script. We want to outdo ourselves. Make it better than the first one,” Roth teased back in November.
Who else will be returning for the next installment of this sure to be classic slasher flick franchise?
Well, chatting with Games Radar this week, Thanksgiving stars Nell Verlaque and Rick Hoffman both strongly suggest they’ll be back in Roth’s upcoming sequel.
Verlaque tells the outlet, “I think that it’ll be a continuation of where we last saw [Jess]. So we’ll see. But right now, I think [she’ll be back]. When I’ve spoken to Eli about what he wants to do, I think he wants to flesh out the characters a lot – you know, these are traumatic events that happen to these people. And I think the reason the first one worked so well is [because] the relationships between everyone were very strong and you understood all of that.”
Rick Hoffman, who plays Jess’s father Thomas Wright, similarly notes, “Based on what I’m told, I’m involved – I don’t want to give anything away, but based on what I’m told by the director, it’s gonna be an interesting experience for sure.”
In Thanksgiving, “After a Black Friday riot ends in tragedy, a mysterious Thanksgiving-inspired killer terrorizes Plymouth, Massachusetts – the birthplace of the infamous holiday.”
The cast for this year’s feature length slasher movie includes Patrick Dempsey, Addison Rae, Jalen Thomas Brooks (“Walker”), Milo Manheim (Zombies), Nell Verlaque (“Big Shot”), Gina Gershon (“Chucky”), Tim Dillon and Rick Hoffman (Hostel).
