Production
[edit]Development
[edit]On May 6, 2025, it was announced that director Kurtis David Harder had wrapped shooting Influencers, the sequel to his 2022 horror film, Influencer.[3] It was also announced that Cassandra Naud would reprise her role from the first film, and that the ensemble cast includes Georgina Campbell, Lisa Delamar, Jonathan Whitesell, Veronica Long, and Dylan Playfair.[3][4]
The film is a co-production between Canada and the United States.[1] It was produced by Jackrabbit Media's Jack Campbell, Chris Ball, Taylor Nodrick, Rebecca Campbell, Kurtis David Harder and Micah Henry.[3] Jackrabbit Media also holds worldwide rights[5] and sold the film to international buyers at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival.[3]
Deadline described the film as "set in the picturesque landscapes of southern France, the sequel watches as a young woman's chilling fascination with murder and identity theft sends her life into a whirlwind of chaos. Pic deepens a cinematic universe built around themes of deception, online identity, and the darker sides of curated personas, offering an expanded canvas compared to the original."[3]
Harder said about the film:
With Influencers, I wanted to revisit the themes of control and illusion, but from a new angle — one that's more seductive, more dangerous, and more unhinged. It’s a film that plays with perception. Fans of Influencer will feel something familiar beneath the surface, but the real fun is discovering just how deep those connections run.[3]
On July 21, 2025, Letterboxd released on its social media platforms a clip from the film featuring Naud and Campbell.[6]
Filming
[edit]Filming took place in Bali, Canada and France in 2024.[5]
Release
[edit]The film will have its world premiere at the 29th Fantasia International Film Festival in the Septentrion Shadows section[2][7] on July 26, 2025.[1] It will be the closing film at FrightFest where it will make its UK premiere in August 2025.[8] Streaming service Shudder holds distribution rights for English-speaking territories.[3]
