At the movie’s end, there is a surprise reveal that seems to suggest there could be a sequel. But will there be a The Curse of Bridge Hollow 2? Or have the negative reviews cursed a sequel’s chances? Here’s what we know:
What is The Curse of Bridge Hollow about?
The Curse of Bridge Hollow follows teenage girl Sydney (Priah Ferguson) and her Halloween-hating father Howard (Marlon Wayans) as they team up to save their town from an ancient spirit that is unleashed when Sydney lights a cursed lantern. The spirit causes the town’s Halloween decorations to come to life and as these include zombies and witches, the town’s residents are understandably spooked when their town is overrun by such horrors. Do Sydney and Howard save the day? We will reveal no spoilers here but if you would like to know more about the movie, check out our Ending Explained article which delves into the movie’s plotting.
Will there be a sequel to The Curse of Bridge Hollow?
As we suggested, the movie’s final scene does suggest the possibility of a sequel. But at the time of writing, The Curse of Bridge Hollow 2 has not been announced by Netflix. The chances of a sequel will likely depend on how well the movie does with audiences. As it has only just been released, we don’t have any viewing figures at this stage but we imagine that the movie will be popular with families looking for something to watch over the Halloween season. The Adam Sandler-starring Hubie Halloween proved popular with Netflix audiences back in October 2020 and The Curse of Bridge Hollow seems tailor-made for the demographic who enjoyed that high-spirited comedy. Of course, Hubie Halloween didn’t get a sequel so it might be that The Curse of Bridge Hollow doesn’t get a Part 2 either. But as Netflix’s new movie is open-ended, there is a possibility that a sequel could happen. Unfortunately, critics have not been overly-kind about The Curse of Bridge Hollow so this could scupper the chances of a sequel. Still, we imagine viewing figures will be the deciding factor so don’t lose hope if you’re keen on seeing a follow-up movie.
What could happen in The Curse of Bridge Hollow 2?
At the end of the first movie, Sydney and Howard put an end to the curse that has been plaguing their town. But when they accidentally knock down a wall in the attic, they discover something that suggests more trouble in the future. If a sequel is given the green light, it would likely follow on from this discovery. As to what could happen, well, we can’t really say for sure. We won’t tell you what they find but believe us when we say there could be more than one curse waiting to be unleashed on Bridge Hollow.
When could The Curse of Bridge Hollow 2 be released?
As the first movie was Halloween-themed, the sequel would likely be released in October 2023 or 2024 just in time for the spooky season. Alternatively, the makers of the first movie might decide on a Christmas follow-up with snowmen and Santa Claus decorations coming to life. We think this because there is a brief mention of Christmas and the over-the-top festivities that the townsfolk take part in during the first movie. If this is the case, we could see The Curse of Bridge Hollow 2 in December next year.
Which cast members will return for The Curse of Bridge Hollow 2?
Marlon Wayans and Priah Ferguson will likely return if the movie is given the green light, and we expect to see Kelly Rowland, the actress who plays Sydney’s mom, make a return too. Rob Riggle, who stars as the next-door neighbour of Sydney and her family, will probably make a comeback, and Lauren Lapkus, who stars as the town’s mayor, might also make an appearance. This is assuming the movie is given the go-ahead, of course, but if we do hear more about a sequel, we will update this page with fresh information.
