A new installment in the Pet Sematary franchise is in the works for Paramount+, with Jeff Buhler, who wrote the 2019 adaptation, writing.
There’s been a ton of casting already, but Variety adds that the legendary Pam Grier (Foxy Brown, Coffy, Jackie Brown) has joined the cast!
Grier joins a cast that includes Natalie Alyn Lind (“Big Sky,” “Tell Me a Story”), Jack Mulhern (“Mare of Easttown”), Forrest Goodluck (The Revenant), and Isabella Star LaBlanc.
Jackson White (“Mrs. Fletcher”) is playing a young version of Jud Crandall.
The upcoming Pet Sematary will serve as an origin story to the Stephen King novel about a family that discovers a rather disturbing graveyard in the woods behind their home.
Lindsey Beer (Sierra Burgess Is a Loser) is making her directorial debut. Beer also wrote the latest draft of the movie’s script.
The movie, which still doesn’t have a title, begins shooting in August and will debut exclusively on Paramount Plus.
