Ryan Coogler’s Sinners might have hit theatres as an original concept, but it’s quickly shaping up to be something more. The high-octane thriller, which raked in nearly $270 million at the domestic box office, was never intended as a one-and-done. And now, signs of a follow-up are beginning to appear.
A fresh listing in Production Weekly confirms that Sinners 2 is officially 'in development,' with Coogler expected to return to the director’s chair. The project’s franchise potential was hinted at from the beginning, and Warner Bros. appears ready to build on the film’s momentum.
But don’t expect cameras to roll just yet. Coogler’s plate remains full, with a reboot of The X Files on the horizon and Black Panther 3 reportedly in the mix. That said, when an original IP breaks out at this scale, studios rarely wait long before greenlighting the next chapter.
For now, fans of Sinners can rest assured: the story isn’t over — it’s just gearing up for its next act.
