Will There Be an Oddity 2? Exploring the Future of Damian McCarthy’s Horror Hit

Oddity (2024) left horror fans haunted and hungry for more. With its chilling atmosphere, twisted mystery, and unforgettable wooden golem, the Irish supernatural thriller became a breakout hit on Shudder and at film festivals worldwide. But will there be an Oddity 2?

📌 Sequel Possibility What We Know

Director Damian McCarthy has hinted that Oddity was designed as a “one and done” story. In interviews, he revealed a preference for burning narrative bridges—killing off characters, destroying props, and closing arcs to avoid sequel. However, both McCarthy and the cast have acknowledged the rich potential for expansion, especially through the eerie Cabinet of Curiosities and the mysterious origins of the wooden man.

🧩 Room for Expansion

Carolyn Bracken (Darcy/Dani) expressed interest in exploring the twins’ backstory.

Gwilym Lee (Ted) teased the idea of a prequel or spin-off centered on the golem.

McCarthy admitted that “ghosts can always find a way to come back,” leaving the door slightly ajar.

🎥 Conclusion

While Oddity 2 isn’t officially in development, fan demand and the film’s layered mythology make a sequel—or anthology-style follow-up—a tantalizing possibility. For now, horror lovers can revisit the original and speculate on what lurks beyond the bellhop’s final ring.
