The horrifying AI doll is returning in Megan 2.0, a follow-up that promises to boost the ante with even more thrills, horror, and dark comedy, following the surprising success of Megan. With its blend of slasher and tech anxiety, Gerard Johnstone’s 2022 original film swiftly rose to cult status, and it appears that the sequel is prepared to delve farther into the terrifying realm of AI gone bad.

Set a year after the events of the first film, Megan 2.0 picks up with the aftermath of the chaos unleashed by the Megan AI doll prototype. While the original was destroyed, the tech company behind her, Funki, is determined to salvage their work. This time, Megan has been rebuilt with new safeguards and a more sophisticated AI system—but we all know how that’s going to end.

The plot follows Gemma (Allison Williams) as she struggles to balance the ethical responsibility of AI creation with corporate pressure. Meanwhile, Megan returns, but she’s smarter, faster, and deadlier. The film explores how AI can evolve, adapt, and even manipulate humans as Megan 2.0 develops a far more sinister agenda.
