This year’s Adam Robitel-directed Escape Room ends with just two characters surviving the game: Logan Miller‘s Ben and Taylor Russell‘s Zoey. The end of the film teased that the sole survivors are going to take the fight to the organization that nearly took their lives, and it looks like the upcoming sequel (also being directed by Robitel) will indeed continue their story.
“I am heading back into that room in a month,” Miller just told Flickering Myth. “We are in pre-production on that right now. We will be diving back in and hopefully surviving yet again.”
He continued, “For what I know, I don’t actually know much, but Taylor [Russell] and I will be coming back and we have a whole new colorful cast of characters. Adam [Robitel] is coming back to direct as well. So yeah, I think the adventure is just gonna be double the pain, I’m sure.”
Escape Room 2 will be unlocking on August 14, 2020.
The (likely) franchise follows strangers who find themselves in a maze of deadly rooms, forced to work together and use their wits to find the clues and escape… or die.
