As one of the many announcements made at SDCC, it has been officially confirmed that In A Violent Nature will receive a sequel following its divisive debut in 2024.
At San Diego Comic-Con’s The Bold Voice of Contemporary Horror panel, IFC Films and Shudder announced that the infamous stalking killer, Johnny, would be making a comeback in a new film.
In May 2024, A Violent Nature was premiered in theaters and received positive reviews from critics. However, upon its general release, the 2024 horror movie did not receive the same reception from audiences.
According to the scores on Rotten Tomatoes, there is a clear division between critics and audiences. The Tomatometer shows a rating of 78%, while the Audience Score is significantly lower at 44%.

Despite the split reception due to the slow-paced and drawn-out shots from the killer’s perspective, a sequel has been greenlit for the horror movie.
According to Scott Shooman, head of AMC Networks’ film group, “In a Violent Nature”showcased a persistent desire for fresh perspectives in the horror genre.
“It was clear from the start that this unique spin on the slasher genre would captivate audiences, and we are delighted to see the enthusiastic reception of Johnny as a new slasher icon. Our goal for the sequel is to showcase Johnny’s potential for even more grandiose and brutal kills, proving that he can only grow in size and savagery.”
Peter Kuplowsky, the producer, stated that “In a Violent Nature”was initially created as a meta-sequel set in a fictional slasher franchise. Therefore, our vision for the film always involved chaos that went beyond the boundaries of the original movie.
We are extremely thankful to our amazing partners at IFC Films / Shudder for believing in Chris’ vision from the start, which now allows us to continue following Johnny on his restless journey. We are delighted to embark on a new chapter and are eager to use Johnny as a means to explore further experiments in the genre.
Currently, there is no designated release date for In A Violent Nature 2 as of writing.
