‘Nightwatch: Demons Are Forever’ – Shudder Brings Surprise Sequel to the 1994 Cult Thriller To Streaming Next Month

Before “Game of Thrones” and Mama, actor Nikolaj Coster-Waldau starred in eerie Danish horror thriller Nightwatch. Shudder is bringing the thriller and its surprise sequel, Nightwatch: Demons Are Forever, to streaming next month.

Look for Nightwatch: Demons Are Forever to arrive on May 17, 2024.

Original cast members Kim Bodnia and Ulf Pilgaard, along with Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, reunite and reprise their roles from the 1994 film, which inspired the 1997 U.S. remake starring Ewan McGregor.

About the sequel: “22-year-old medical student Emma (Fanny Leander Bornedal) has just taken a job as the night watch in the same forensic department where her parents were once almost killed by the famed psychopathic police inspector Wörmer. The events led to her mother’s suicide, and her father Martin (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau) has turned to tranquilizers to suppress the memories. Determined to investigate what exactly happened to them, Emma tracks down and confronts Wörmer, only to unintentionally reawaken his bloodthirst and ignite a violent revenge on everyone who sealed his destiny years ago.”

The sequel was written/directed by Nightwatch‘s creator, Ole Bornedal.

Producers include Thomas Heinesen, Christel C.D. Karlsen, and Signe Baasch. Nightwatch: Demons Are Forever was executive produced by Katrine Vogelsang, Henrik Zein, Peter Nadermann, and Doris Schrenner.

The surprise announcement also comes with new images, below, giving a peek at the eerie sequel ahead.
