Host was a surprise hit when it premiered on Shudder in July 2020, right at the height of the Covid pandemic, and capitalized both on the universal fear of the health emergen🗹cy and of the paranormal. Three years later, woﷺrds and phrases like "quarantini" and "social distancing" ring like echoes of a nightmare from the past, which is why a sequel to a movie whose plot and structure are based around the pandemic has always seemed unlikely. However, Host writer and executive producer Jed Shepherd says he's had a clear vision for a sequel since the first movie debuted.

"I🌳 came up with the sequel idea to Host the day after we released it!" Shepherd said in 💯a reply to a fan on Twitter.

Unfortunately, Shepherd didn't follow up with any insights into this Host sequel he's apparently pondered over the last three years. Furthermore, he has since tweeted confirm🐼ation that there are no plans to make the sequel.

I'm curious to know though whether his sequel idea would continue with the original's use of a Zoom call as the setting and plot device, or and whether it would even be a found footage movie at all. The whole reason the movie took place over ༺a remote video conference was because of Covid-era protocol, so a sequel - assuming it took place in more recent times instead of direct🍸ly after the events of the original - could ditch the old format altogether and opt for a more traditional horror movie setting.

After earning an English degree from ASU, I ꦏworked as a corporate copy editor while freelancing for places like SFX Magazine, Screen Rant, Game Revolution, and MMORPG on the side. I got my big break here in 2019 with a freelance news gig, and I was hired on as GamesRadar's west coast Staff Writer in 2021. That means I'm responsible for managing the site💜's western regional executive branch, AKA my home office, and writing about whatever horror game I'm too afraid to finish.
