Rogue Pictures' producers announced that a sequel was in development in August 2008, tentatively titled The Strangers: Part II.[4][5] In an article published by Bloody-Disgusting, it was said that the script would be written by Bryan Bertino and the film directed by Laurent Briet.[6][7] Shock Till You Drop reported that Relativity Media put The Strangers: Part II on hold because they found that the movie might not be in their interest, even though Universal Pictures is willing to release it.[7] However, Rogue Pictures confirmed in January 2011 that the sequel is now in production, and was supposed to begin filming as early as April 2011. The plot follows a family of four who have been evicted from their home due to the economy, and are paid a visit by the same three strangers from the first film.[7][8] It is not known whether the sequel will receive a theatrical or a straight-to-DVD release.[9]

According to Tyler, Part II was slated for release in 2014, but that did not occur.[9][7] In 2015 The Wrap reported that the sequel was in production, and that Relativity Media and GK Films scheduled the film for a December 2, 2016 release date, but it was later removed from the schedule.[10][11]

In February 2017, it was announced that Johannes Roberts would be the sequel's new director and that filming would commence during the summer of the same year.[12] In May 2017, it was announced that the cast would include Christina Hendricks, Bailee Madison, and Lewis Pullman[13] and production would begin in Los Angeles on May 30.[14] In June 2017, it was announced Martin Henderson had joined the cast. Filming began in June 2017 in Covington, Kentucky,[15] and concluded on July 10, 2017.
