K-pop fans and supernatural thriller lovers get ready! A sequel to the hit Korean action-horror film “The Priests” is in the early stages of development. Director Jang Jae-hyun recently hinted at the possibility, saying he’s been thinking about it and discussing ideas. Though there’s no official confirmation or release date yet, the success of the original movie, which followed two Catholic priests battling demonic possession, makes a sequel highly anticipated. With its blend of K-pop star Kim Jae-wook and intense exorcism scenes, “The Priests 2” could be a major hit.
The original “The Priests” (also known as “Black Priests”) became a box office phenomenon in South Korea upon its release in 2015. The film’s unique blend of religious themes, horror elements, and the star power of Kang Dong-won and Kim Yoon-seok captivated audiences. A sequel could explore new demonic threats and delve deeper into the world of Korean exorcism, building on the original’s compelling premise. Fans are eager to see if Kim Jae-wook, whose performance was praised, will return for the potential sequel.
A “The Priests” sequel promises more thrilling action and chilling suspense. If the project moves forward, expect news about casting, plot details, and a release date to follow. Stay tuned for updates on this exciting potential addition to the K-horror genre!
