The Source |Octavia Spencer Rekindling the Madness as ‘Ma’ Sequel Moves Forward at Blumhouse

  • Blumhouse announced on Tuesday at its Business of Fear event that a sequel to the 2019 psychological horror movie Ma is in development with Octavia Spencer returning.
  • The original film, directed by Tate Taylor and released in May 2019, followed a lonely woman named Sue Ann who befriends teens before her relationship with them sours.
  • Ma earned $60 million worldwide on a $5 million budget, grew into a social phenomenon with viral memes, and Spencer’s performance became iconic and widely embraced by fans.
  • Jason Blum, founder of Blumhouse, expressed his excitement about Octavia returning to reprise her role, referencing Ma’s memorable line, "don’t make me drink alone."
  • Though the sequel remains in early stages with no director or release date set, the confirmed return of Spencer suggests continued interest in expanding Ma’s cult status.
