After sending shivers down the spine with a terrifying doll in ‘The Boy’, STX is working on a sequel which is expected to grace the theatre in summer 2020. Titled ‘Brahms: The Boy II’, the horror film was initially slated for release on July 26 but was later shifted to December. Just when we began to wonder about the minimal buzz the movie has managed to create, we learned that its release has been pushed to next year, around the same time other doll-themed films ‘Annabelle Comes Home’ and ‘Child’s Play’ will come out.

Release:

‘Brahms: The Boy II’ is scheduled to release on February 21, 2020.

In ‘The Boy’, the elderly Heelshires couple drown themselves after writing a goodbye letter to Brahms. The mansion catches fire accidentally, burning everything down to the ashes including the babysitter Creta and her abusive boyfriend Cole. However, Brahms survives and continues living in the house repairing broken dolls. The sequel will deal with a young family which moves into the Heelshire mansion unaware of its dark past and the creepy inhabitants. STX's official synopsis states, “The premise will follow the story of the youngest son finding the porcelain doll, and befriending Brahms.”
