Thanksgiving stars Nell Verlaque and Rick Hoffman say their characters will appear in the upcoming sequel – which director Eli Roth is in the process of writing.
"To my knowledge, yes," Verlaque tells GamesRadar+ when asked if her lead character Jess will go on to star in Thanksgiving 2. "I think that it'll be a continuation of where we last saw her. So we'll see. But right now, I think so. When I've spoken to Eli about what he wants to do, I think he wants to flesh out the characters a lot – you know, these are traumatic events that happen to these people. And I think the reason the first one worked so well is [because] the relationships between everyone were very strong and you understood all of that."
"Based on what I'm told, I'm involved – I don't want to give anything away, but based on what I'm told by the director, it's gonna be an interesting experience for sure," Hoffman says. The Suits actor plays Thomas Wright, Jess's CEO father who made the decision to keep Right Mart open on the night of the Black Friday riot. Despite the tragedy, Thomas insists on keeping it open the following year – and John Carver isn't too happy.
