Amanda Seyfried Hints ‘Jennifer's Body 2' Is in the Works: ‘I Think We're Making Another One'
Amanda Seyfried is on board for any 'Jennifer's Body' sequel, which could come sooner than later. The actress, though not confirming the film, told Bloody Disgusting that a 'Jennifer's Body 2' could be in the works soon.
'I think we're making another one,' Seyfried said while on the red carpet for 'Seven Veils.' 'I didn't confirm it! I said, 'I think.'' IndieWire has reached out to representatives for Seyfried, screenwriter Diablo Cody, and director Karyn Kusama for further comment.

'Jennifer's Body' was released in 2009. While the feature barely broke even at the box office, the now-iconic film is considered to be a feminist horror classic. Seyfried stars as Needy, whose best friend Jennifer (Megan Fox) is the high school queen bee. However, after Jennifer is sacrificed by the lead singer (Adam Brody) of a band touring through town, she is left as a half-girl, half-demon who feasts on unsuspecting boys to survive.
Academy Award-winning screenwriter Diablo Cody told Bloody Disgusting in 2024 that she is 'not done' with the world of 'Jennifer's Body' during its 15-year anniversary. 'I want to do a sequel. I am not done with 'Jennifer's Body,'' Cody said. 'I need to partner with people who believe it in [sic] as much as I do and that hasn't really happened yet. I need someone to believe in it who has a billion dollars.'
In 2024 while talking about her 'Lisa Frankenstein' script, Cody told IndieWire about renewed interest in a potential 'Jennifer Body's' sequel. 'I had no idea people would get so excited about that,' Cody said. 'I was delighted to see the response, I'm going to clip those articles and show them to all the people who are like, 'We don't think this is such a good idea.' Bring it into the people that I need to green light it.'
She told IndieWire that the renewed chatter around a potential sequel really excited her. 'It's the best thing that's ever happened to me in my career, it's like total validation,' she said of the continued fandom around the film. 'It came late, I'm OK with that, I've made my peace with that. I went through a lot when that movie came out, just personal attacks. It was about more than just the movie. … I always believed in it, but I did lose my confidence. If people hadn't rediscovered 'Jennifer's Body,' I would not have written 'Lisa Frankenstein.' With that whole area, that genre, I kind of felt unwelcome in it, because I had flopped so hard on my last attempt.'
Meanwhile, Seyfried next stars in Mona Fastvold's upcoming 'Ann Lee' musical, which centers on the founder of the Shaker Movement in the late 1770s. The musical biopic is co-written by Fastvold and her 'The Brutalist' collaborator and real-life partner Brady Corbet.
Seyfried told Vanity Fair that shooting Fastvold and Corbet's secret indie film after wrapping the upcoming Peacock limited series 'Long Bright River,' was tough. 'I went to hell and back,' Seyfried said of the demanding back-to-back projects. 'Oh, my God. What the fuck? Even my assistant's like, 'You need to take a break,'' Seyfried said. 'We could only do ['Ann Lee'] in the summer. … We moved everybody to Budapest, including my dog. Then we did a crazy thing. We did a crazy thing.' She added of the musical, 'I don't know how it's going to turn out.'

Devil May Cry Season 2: Release date speculation, cast and plot details – Everything we know so far
Netflix's Devil May Cry animated series has taken the anime world by storm, bringing Capcom's iconic video game franchise to life with slick animation, intense action, and a rebellious punk vibe. After the explosive first season premiered on April 3, 2025, fans were left buzzing with excitement over a major cliffhanger and the official confirmation of Devil May Cry Season 2. If you're eager to know more about the upcoming season, including release date predictions, cast details, and potential plot points, here's everything we know so far about Dante's next demon-slaying adventure. When Can We Expect Devil May Cry Season 2? So, Netflix gave the green light for Season 2 on April 10, 2025, like a week after Season 1 exploded onto our screens. That's a good sign—they know this show's a banger. But here's the kicker: no official release date yet. Bummer, right? Still, we can play detective and piece together a rough timeline. The show's big shot, Adi Shankar, worked on Castlevania , which usually took about 15 months between seasons. If Devil May Cry follows that pattern, and word on the street is production kicked off around summer 2025, we're probably looking at late 2026 for Season 2. Expected Cast for Devil May Cry Season 2 The voice cast in Season 1 was straight-up fire, and most of 'em are probably back to bring the noise in Season 2. Here's the lowdown on who we expect to hear in the new season. Johnny Yong Bosch as Dante Scout Taylor-Compton as Lady (Mary) Robbie Daymond as Vergil Chris Coppola as Enzo Ferino Hoon Lee as White Rabbit Kevin Conroy as Vice President Baines The Japanese dub is stacked too, with Toshiyuki Morikawa as Dante, Fumiko Orikasa as Mary, and Hiroaki Hirata as Vergil. Plot Details and Expectations for Season 2 Devil May Cry Season 1 ended on a jaw-dropping cliffhanger: Dante, betrayed by Lady, was placed in cryostasis by DARKCOM, a government organization aiming to control his power. Meanwhile, Vergil, revealed as 'The Knight' of the demon realm, declared war on humanity, setting the stage for an epic sibling showdown. Here's what we can expect from Season 2's plot based on the finale and the game's lore: Dante and Vergil's Beef: These twins are always at each other's throats, and Season 2's probably gonna lean hard into that. Vergil's demon alliance and war talk scream bad blood. The show's in its own timeline, but it might pull from Devil May Cry 3 's brotherly feud, with some fresh spins. Their mom's death messed 'em both up, so expect some emotional gut-punches. Busting Out of DARKCOM: Dante's not staying frozen forever, right? Season 2's gotta show how he breaks free. Maybe Lady flips sides and helps him, or Vergil's demon squad crashes the party. DARKCOM's up to no good—probably experimenting with demon juice—so figuring out their deal will be a big plot chunk. New Faces, Game Nods: If Trish or Nero pop up, it'll tie the show closer to the Devil May Cry universe. That mystery client from the finale could be a game character or someone new. Shankar's 'Bootleg Multiverse' thing might sneak in Castlevania Easter eggs, but don't expect Alucard to crash the pizza party. Ahmedabad Plane Crash

Dandadan Season 2: Epic arcs, new villains and what fans need to know
By Aman Shukla Published on June 22, 2025, 18:30 IST Last updated June 22, 2025, 18:59 IST The anime Dandadan exploded onto screens in 2024, winning fans with its chaotic blend of ghosts, aliens, and teenage antics. Now, with Season 2 set to launch on July 3, 2025, excitement is building for what's next in Momo Ayase and Ken 'Okarun' Takakura's wild journey. Adapted from Yukinobu Tatsu's manga and animated by Science SARU, this season looks ready to dial up the action and emotions. Here's a detailed look at what to expect in the new season. Release Date and Where to Watch Dandadan Season 2 will hit screens on July 3, 2025, airing in Japan on MBS' Super Animeism TURBO slot. For global fans, the season will stream on Netflix, Crunchyroll, and Hulu, with new episodes dropping weekly on Thursdays. What's the Story This Time? Season 2 jumps straight into the Cursed House arc, then shifts to the Evil Eye arc, with possible teases of the Kaiju arc by the end. Covering roughly manga chapters 34 to 62, and maybe touching 63 to 73, these arcs bring fresh challenges. Here's a quick, spoiler-free peek: Cursed House Arc : Momo, Okarun, and Jiji tackle a creepy house linked to Jiji's family. Think spooky talismans, ghostly encounters, and moments that reveal more about Jiji's backstory and his ties to Momo. It's a test of their courage and teamwork. Evil Eye Arc : A sinister yokai called the Evil Eye stirs up trouble, feeding on dark emotions and possessing a human. This arc blends intense fights with heavier emotional stakes, as Momo and Okarun face both the spirit and their own feelings. Expect surprises and epic showdowns. Kaiju Arc Hints: Promos show musical instruments and a giant figure, suggesting early Kaiju arc vibes. This could introduce high-tech gear like Nanoskin and new faces, expanding the show's bizarre universe. The season keeps the humor and heart fans love, with Momo and Okarun's budding romance complicated by Jiji's presence, adding layers of jealousy and growth. New Faces and Foes Get ready for some chilling villains. The Evil Eye and the Avatar of Hatred, with its eerie purple, sketch-like look, promise to raise the stakes. These threats hit hard, mixing mind games with brutal battles. New characters also shake things up, bringing energy to the crew without feeling like one-offs. They're set to leave a mark, making the group's dynamic even wilder. Ahmedabad Plane Crash Aman Shukla is a post-graduate in mass communication .

The 'Dept. Q' Interiors Are More Significant Than You Might Think
If you're watching Dept. Q, the latest police drama on Netflix, then you're probably trying to figure out solicitor Merritt Lingard's fate or wondering what season 2 will entail. Or, like us, you could be so fixated on the interiors that you're too distracted to concentrate on the crimes in question. At first glance the interiors are dark, cold and gritty—like the basement urinals where Detective Carl Morck (played by Matthew Goode) and his micro-team have to set up office. But look closer, and the interiors are stylized, atmospheric, and likely to inspire your home decor. Plus, they have their own main character energy and play a big part in creating the edginess of the drama. While the Netflix show is based on a series of crime books by Danish author Jussi Adler-Olsen set in Copenhagen, Dept. Q has moved its setting to the Scottish city Edinburgh, with the show's creator Scott Frank describing it as 'the perfect combination between the modern and the medieval.' These are our top interiors moments in Dept. Q and why they matter. In the opening episode of the series, we go into Carl's boss, Moira Jacobson's office at the Edinburgh Police HQ. While the force might be in need of some cash, we couldn't stop staring at the carpet! With a fitting tartan nod, the green-and-red square pattern has a '70s-style template that complements the vertical wood paneling and mid-century furniture. And we haven't even gotten to the bare concrete pillars and floor-to-ceiling Crittall windows. While you know the carpet gives off stale 'grandparent house' cigarette smoke, it's also giving us good Mad Men vibes. It doesn't look like much when Carl is shown down to his new office quarters for Dept. Q–it is, after all, the police HQ's old toilet/shower/changing room/gym. But it's the basement space, named 'Q,' that gives the department, and the show, its name. 'Where's this office?' asks Carl. 'Q?' he replies as Jacobson hands him the labeled keys. 'Where's that?' he asks. 'Downstairs,' she replies. 'But the offices are numbered downstairs, Moira,' retorts Carl. 'I meant downstairs downstairs,' she replies. It's amazing what some lighting can do to the space, which starts off piled full of discarded chairs and old case note boxes. Especially for the Claridge's green and bottle brown rectangular wall tiles which perfectly offset the geometric floor and ceiling pendant lights. In a later episode, when DC Rose Dickson (Leah Byrne) joins the department, it gets positively atmospheric and you could easily forget about the urinals and the discarded gym weights, that Carl can't lift, around the corner. We're particularly into Merritt's house by the sea, although if we were receiving mysterious death threats, we really wouldn't want to be living in a building with so much glass. Filmed in Dirleton in East Lothian, the actual house was an old World War II radar station which had been renovated and then sold. Dept.Q's supervising location manager Hugh Gourlay has said, 'We ended up painting it to give it a more austere flavor. It has that feeling of Merritt's coldness.' There's also a coolness to the interiors with the stainless steel kitchen, the bare concrete floors, and white-washed walls. Again, the lighting, in the form of up-lit wall fittings and large arc floor lamps, creates the eerie atmosphere that gives that bad-person-lurking-outside feel, as does the open plan design. Draw the curtains Merritt! The care home where Merritt's brother William ends up—which Carl and his anorak-wearing, far more charismatic sidekick Akram Salim (Alexej Manvelov) visit in episode 2—is set outside of Edinburgh in Midlothian. It was shot at Vogrie House, Pathhead, an old mansion that was made to 'look like a clinic, institutional but richer than it is,' according to location manager Gourlay. Indeed it looks more like an ambassador's residence than a care home with mahogany furnishings, plush velvet armchairs and a sweeping grand staircase. The luxe mansion feel begs the question: What part does the suspiciously glamorous Dr. Fiona Wallace (Michelle Duncan), who is now in charge of William's care, have in all of this? And also, who is paying for him to be there?
