Mutiny On The Bounty (2025)

Status Update: No Sequel Yet, But Creatives Are Curious

As of now, a direct sequel titled Pet Sematary: Bloodlines 2 has not been officially green-lit. The original prequel, Pet Sematary: Bloodlines (2023), provided backstory to Jud Crandall before the events of the 2019 film—but for now, that stands as the latest addition in the franchise.

Creative Team Expresses Interest

The film’s director and co-writer, Lindsey Anderson Beer, has openly expressed her desire to delve deeper into the mythology of Stephen King’s universe. She envisions multiple possible origin stories and unexplored chapters that could justify further installments down the line.

Producers remain cautiously optimistic. Lorenzo di Bonaventura and Mark Vahradian have mentioned that while there's no sequel set yet, they’re intrigued by expanding the franchise’s mythology—including the idea of other “hell-mouth” burial sites around the world.

Will It Happen?

A potential sequel hinges largely on the streaming performance and audience reception of the first Bloodlines. Since the prequel wrapped its own narrative without an obvious cliffhanger, any continuation will require fresh creative vision—possibly exploring different characters or darker lore.

If it does move forward, a 2026 or 2027 release would be the most likely timeline based on normal development schedules.

What Could the Story Be?

Potential directions for Bloodlines 2 include:

  • Exploring ancient legends behind the cursed burial ground—perhaps tracing back to its origins in the 1600s.

  • Focusing on other characters affected by Ludlow’s evil, not just Jud Crandall.

  • Going global—imagining similar supernatural burial sites in other cultures, as suggested by producer Vahradian.

Fan Response: A Mixed Graveyard

Audience reactions to Bloodlines were polarized. Some appreciated the historical depth and atmospheric touches, but many voiced disappointment with its pacing and emotional impact.

“A lot of unanswered lore remains—more origin story digging would’ve been great,” said one viewer.

Another put it bluntly:

“It didn’t need to be made. Feels unnecessary.”

Reddit discussions echoed this divide. Comments ranged from nostalgia-fueled praise to frustration at what fans saw as wasted potential.
