As of now, there is no official sequel to the 2017 horror film “The Ritual.” The original movie, directed by David Bruckner and based on Adam Nevill’s novel of the same name, tells the story of four friends who embark on a hiking trip in the Scandinavian wilderness to honor a deceased friend. They soon find themselves stalked by a malevolent presence tied to an ancient Norse deity.
Given the film’s self-contained narrative and conclusive ending, there has been no announcement of a sequel, and the story doesn’t naturally lend itself to continuation. However, horror movies sometimes receive sequels or spin-offs based on their success, but for “The Ritual,” no such project has been confirmed or discussed publicly by the filmmakers or production studios.
If a sequel were to be developed, it could potentially explore the lore of the Norse mythology introduced in the first film, possibly focusing on new characters encountering the same or similar supernatural forces. However, without any official confirmation or details, this remains speculative.
For now, “The Ritual” stands as a singular, atmospheric horror film with no announced plans for a follow-up.
