In the sequel to Eli Roth’s Thanksgiving, whether it’s the same killer or a new avenger, Nell Verlaque revealed to GamesRadar+ that Roth aims to delve deeper into the characters. While the fate of the Sheriff remains uncertain after the explosion, there are no loose ends from the first film. Recent remarks from actors like Verlaque suggest that Thanksgiving 2 will continue with the same characters, focusing on their development and how they cope with the aftermath of a traumatic event. With Carver’s apparent survival, expect the slasher to return.

Thanksgiving, Eli Roth’s chilling take on Turkey Day terror, evolves into a terrifying sequel, Thanksgiving 2. Originally stemming from a mock trailer in 2007’s Grindhouse, Thanksgiving is a classic revenge slasher where an axe-wielding maniac seeks vengeance for a violent Black Friday shopping spree in Plymouth, Massachusetts. Infused with Roth’s trademark gore, Thanksgiving serves as a poignant social commentary on consumerism’s dark side, tarnishing the holiday spirit. Despite its polarizing themes and gruesome visuals, Thanksgiving has garnered praise for its underlying subtext amidst the typical slasher chaos (via Rotten Tomatoes). As the third Grindhouse trailer to spawn a feature film, it follows in the footsteps of Robert Rodriguez’s Machete and Hobo With a Shotgun. Similar to Machete’s successful franchise, Thanksgiving holds promise for numerous sequels.
