Crawl 2 Announced with Alexandre Aja Directing, Will Head to New York

As a seasoned horror aficionado who has braved countless chilling cinematic experiences, I can confidently say that the announcement of “Crawl 2” has sent a shiver down my spine – and not just because of the creepy crawlies involved! Having grown up in the swamps of Florida myself, I have a particular fondness for Alexandre Aja‘s work, which skillfully blends suspense, action, and pure terror.


As a thrilled horror enthusiast, I’m excited to share some exciting news about the long-awaited sequel to the chilling 2019 hit, Crawl. This time around, the mastermind behind both the original and the sequel is none other than Alexandre Aja, who has made a significant impact in the horror world with movies like High Tension and Piranha 3D.

One captivating feature of the upcoming movie, Crawl 2, revolves around its fresh environment. Contrasting with the first film’s setting in the ominous, water-logged Florida wilderness filled with dangerously aggressive alligators lurking in a flooded house, the sequel reportedly moves the chills to the bustling urban backdrop of New York City. The change of scenery for Crawl 2 promises an entirely new set of perils for the characters to conquer.

New Location, New Dangers, New Cast

Instead of continuing the “person vs. reptile” dynamic from the first film in a swampy setting, the sequel, Crawl 2, might explore new terrifying scenarios by shifting to an urban environment like New York City. Could we expect a chilling twist on the myth about alligators lurking in the city’s sewers? Given the diverse wildlife of New York, there are several possibilities for other native species; perhaps it introduces an infestation of snapping turtles or beavers, among others.

As a passionate movie enthusiast, I’m excited about the upcoming release of “Crawl 2“. This new installment will introduce a fresh cast, introducing us to a host of unfamiliar faces within the franchise. Though specifics about the actors are still under wraps, the choice to introduce a new crew (oops, I meant characters) implies that the sequel might stand alone, only linked to the original by the common thread of people battling animals during floods. If this is indeed the case, the “Crawl” series could have a long future ahead, particularly given the rising water levels…

It’s not surprising that a sequel for this movie is on its way. The first Crawl, released in 2019, was a huge success, grossing over $91 million globally against a budget of around $14 million. A significant portion of its success can be attributed to the powerful acting by Kaya Scodelario and Barry Pepper. To keep the franchise thriving, the sequel is aiming to bring in some new horror stars. Production for Crawl 2 is currently being intensely worked on, with filming set to start later this year.
