Alison Lohman may have teased that a sequel to 2009’s “Drag Me to Hell” is in the works. On July 1 she took to X and responded to fans who would love to revisit another Sam Raimi’s cursed object movie. She posted the year “2026” followed by a winking emoji.

This might track since Raimi himself announced in 2023 that he wanted to continue the story. “[Ghost House production head] Romel Adam and [director of development] Jose Canas are trying to come up with a story that would work and I’m anxious to hear if they do!”

Nothing official has come out yet, but the time frame between Raimi’s statement and now Lohman’s ambiguous post feels like the right amount of time to have written a screenplay, have it approved, and go into production. But why 2026? A lot of times it’s a matter of timing. Other projects currently filming take priority.

Raimi himself has two director duties currently in the works; “The Kingkiller Chronicle” and “World War 3″. Although we appreciate him giving other directors a spot in the director’s chair as a producer, Raimi shines when he helms motion pictures. Except for “Evil Dead Rise”, his past producing credits haven’t had the same impact as when he’s in charge.  Some of his producer-only credits include “The Grudge” (2019), “Umma” (2022), and “65” (2023).
