People have spent years clinging onto Jennifer\u2019s Body sequel rumours, but it finally looks like it’s actually happening.<\/p>\n

According to horror outlet Dread Central<\/a>, Megan Fox is set to return as Jennifer Check in Jennifer\u2019s Body two, with Amanda Seyfried also expected to reprise her role as Needy.<\/p>\n

It comes after a Production Weekly listing earlier this week suggested filming is due to begin in Vancouver this October, with original director Karyn Kusama and writer Diablo Cody both back for the sequel.<\/p>\n

Released in 2009, Jennifer\u2019s Body follows Jennifer, a popular high school student who becomes possessed by a demon and starts killing off her male classmates. The film wasn’t a huge hit when it first landed in cinemas and reviews were mixed, but over the years it found a massive new audience through streaming and home releases, eventually becoming one of horror’s biggest cult classics.<\/p>\n

As the film’s popularity has grown, so has demand for a sequel. Both Diablo Cody and Karyn Kusama have spoken publicly about wanting to revisit the story, while Megan Fox has long made it clear she’d happily step back into Jennifer’s blood-soaked boots.<\/p>\n

Amanda Seyfried has been just as enthusiastic. During a Variety Actors on Actors<\/a> conversation with her former co-star Adam Brody last year, she teased: “We’re making another one,” before making it clear she wouldn’t be interested unless Fox was involved too.<\/p>\n

Kusama has also hinted that work on the sequel is already well underway.<\/p>\n

Speaking to Deadline<\/a>, she said: “I know she’s working on it right now, and I’m very excited to hear what comes of it. I know some of the bones of it, so I’m not going to give anything away, but it sounds fun and crazy like the first film. And I have no doubt that Diablo will do something absolutely incredible with it.”<\/p>\n

While there’s still no official release date, all the signs point to Jennifer’s Body 2 finally moving forward after years of false starts and fan campaigns.<\/p>\n

If filming really does kick off in October, it might not be too long before Jennifer Check makes her long-awaited return.<\/p>\n
