M3GAN 2.0 is the latest chapter of the M3GAN movie series that shook audiences to the core.
Released in 2022, Gerard Johnstone's campy horror flick took the world by storm and became a critical and financial success. It paved the way for potential chapters set in this creepy AI-doll's universe.
Blumhouse Productions, behind this breakout release, later announced the plan for the next chapters. They revealed that a sequel is set for a 2025 release with Allison Williams and Violet McGraw returning to the cast, besides a spin-off reportedly called SOULM8TE, set for a 2026 release.
In October 2024, M3GAN producer Jason Blum and actress Allison Williams attended the New York Comic Con. They offered fans a brief preview of the upcoming sequel. Before leaving, they showed a clip of M3GAN's character apologizing for not making it to the convention!
Most recently, Entertainment Weekly shared two photos from M3GAN 2.0 featuring the M3GAN and Cady from the first film. According to the reports, it is set for release on June 27, 2025.
Let's find out what it means for the future of this spooky universe.
This article contains spoilers from the 2022 movie, M3GAN. So, reader discretion is advised.
What do we know about M3GAN 2.0? Details explored
In 2022, M3GAN gave birth to a viral dance trend inspired by a scene with the iconic robot killer. It made M3GAN a pop-culture diva that people simply couldn't avoid. Besides being a fan favorite, the movie was also a critical success with over 93% Fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
Now, new pictures shared by Entertainment Weekly show M3GAN in a new look with a blue coat and Cady working on a device.
While no specific plot details have been revealed, it looks like Cady is honing her engineering skills to defeat the robotic doll that gave everyone the chills. Unlike Cady, M3GAN's inclusion might feel odd to the fans who saw her being destroyed at the end of the first film.
While speaking about including the doll in the 2025 sequel, director Gerard Johnstone said,
"We couldn't leave our girl out of it. She's a living doll, and part of the fun of having a doll is being able to play dress-up. We had a couple of looks in the first film, but I wanted 10 different looks for M3GAN. For the sequel, I felt like here's a chance to do that.”
What to expect from M3GAN 2.0?
M3GAN 2.0 will star Allison Williams, and Violet McGraw will star in the film, reprising their roles as Gemma and Cady. It will be written by Akela Cooper (M3GAN, Malignant, The Nun II) and directed by Gerard Johnstone (M3GAN, The New Legends of Monkey).
While speaking with Entertainment Weekly about the film's scope, M3GAN 2.0 director Gerard Johnstone said,

"It is very ambitious. I felt that the story should be bigger and increase in scale and scope, but it’s still a minuscule budget [compared to] the Marvel movie scale."
M3GAN 2.0 is set to be released in theaters on June 27, 2025.
