“This bitch is back.” So says the teaser trailer for Universal’s M3GAN 2.0, the sequel to the 2022 box office smash hit M3GAN, that was released during Sunday’s Grammy Awards.
The brief clip didn’t give much away in terms of plot but should get fans hyped for the June 27, 2025, release from Blumhouse Productions, Atomic Monster and Divide/Conquer production. We do see murderous doll and all round charmer M3GAN as she sashays towards the camera, asking the viewer: “Miss me?”
Allison Williams will return as Gemma, a roboticist at a toy company who created AI doll M3GAN, and Violet McGraw returns as Cady, Gemma’s niece. The cast also includes Brian Jordan Alvarez, Jen Van Epps, Ivanna Sakhno, Timm Sharp, Aristotle Athari and Kiwi comic Jemaine Clement.
As well as a teaser, the studio released a little more info on the plot for M3GAN 2.0. The action takes place two years after the events of M3GAN, we learn that Gemma has become a high-profile author and advocate for government oversight of A.I. Meanwhile, Gemma’s niece Cady, now 14, has become a teenager, rebelling against Gemma’s overprotective rules. In the background the tech M3GAN has been stolen and misused by a powerful defense contractor to create an AI weapon called Amelia, who inevitably decides against taking orders. Gemma then must resurrect M3GAN (with lots of upgrades) in order take on Amelia and save humanity.
Gerard Johnstone is returning as director for M3GAN 2.0 and Akela Cooper is returning as writer. Produced by James Wan, Jason Blum and Allison Williams, the film is executive produced by Gerard Johnstone, Adam Hendricks, Greg Gilreath, Michael Clear, Judson Scott and Mark D. Katchur.
M3GAN became something of a pop culture phenomenon when it was released in December 2022. The $12 million movie was a huge hit with critics (a whopping 93 percent Rotten Tomatoes score) and audiences, and made over $180 million at the box office worldwide and launched a thousand memes.
