Happy Death Day 2U getting a Valentines Day release date

Happy Death Day is getting a more rom-com type of sequel set to be released on Valentines Day of next year.

In the tradition of surprise hit horror movies, Blumhouses Happy Death Day is getting a sequel that will be just as quirky, if not more so, than the original. The original film was structured like Groundhog Day in which the lead character wakes up to relive a single day over and over again. Tree Gelbman, played by Jessica Rothe, is murdered on her birthday but every time she dies, she wakes up to start the day over again and must stop her murder if she wants to live to see the next one.

With each murder, Tree becomes more confident and self-accepting, not caring what anyone thinks of her because she’s been literally murdered more than once. She’s probably thinking “what’s the worst that could happen if I walk around campus naked”, and she does end up walking around her college campus naked at one point, followed by belching and farting in public, spanking boys when they’re bad, and stuffing her face with french fries. She’s a true hero.

The sequel, simply titled Happy Death Day 2U, will see the main three original cast members return, including Rothe, Israel Broussard as her boyfriend Carter Davis, and Ruby Modine as Lori Spengler with Suraj Sharma and Sarah Yarkin joining the cast as two new characters. Sharma is playing Samar Ghosh, a science enthusiast and geek who enjoys coding in his spare time, and Yarkin will play Dre Morgan, a science geek and tom-boy who is Samar’s partner-in-crime.
