Two years ago, director David Bruckner had such sights to show us with Hellraiser, a direct-to-Hulu horror movie that reimagined Clive Barker’s iconic horror franchise. The film debuted on Hulu in October 2022, starring Jamie Clayton as a brand new Hell Priest.

Was Bruckner’s Hellraiser a success for Hulu? And will we be getting more new installments in the film franchise? According to producer Keith Levine, Hellraiser 2 is indeed in the works!

Levine tells ComicBook.com in a brand new chat, “We are trying to do a follow-up and there have been conversations. I can’t exactly say where we’re at in those conversations, but [David] Bruckner is involved in those conversations.”

“We spent a lot of time and energy relaunching that world,” Levine continues. “A lot of brainpower going into crafting the Cenobite design, figuring out how we’re going to pull them off, and we learned so much. And I think moving forward, we love that all that knowledge is sort of banked and that time has been spent. So we think that moving forward and going into another movie is just going to be even crazier and even more awesome. So yeah, that’s something we’re definitely hard at work on, and hope we will have more news soon.”

He adds, “[We’re] excited to tell more stories in the world.”

Stay tuned for more on a potential Hellraiser 2 from Hulu.

In the 2022 movie, “A young woman struggling with addiction (Odessa A’zion) comes into possession of an ancient puzzle box, unaware that its purpose is to summon the Cenobites.”

On a related note, original Pinhead actor Doug Bradley isn’t ruling out a future return to the franchise. Chatting with Bloody Disgusting earlier this year, the horror icon gave us some insight into what it would take to get him back in the makeup one more time.

Bradley’s ideal circumstances for a return would be an adaptation of Barker’s 2015 novel The Scarlet Gospels, which concerns the end of Pinhead. He told us, “If we did that, we could maybe present an older Pinhead to be aware of the fact that I am the age I am, that time and gravity does what time and gravity does. An older, darker Pinhead would intrigue me, one not so much in love with the flippant one-liners and the witty comebacks and so forth.”
