Filming on M3GAN 2.0 has officially begun. According to Jason Blum, the horror sequel has kicked off production in New Zealand, with returning cast members Violet McGraw and Allison Williams presumably in tow.

Directed byGerard Johnstone,M3GANcentered on Gemma, a gifted roboticist (Williams) who invents a mechanical friend for her newly orphaned niece Cady (McGraw) after her sister and brother-in-law pass away unexpectedly. Preoccupied with work and unable to connect with the lonely youngster, Gemma programs M3GAN to “protect Cady from harm, both physical and emotional” – an update that ends up having terrible consequences when the artificially intelligent doll becomes overprotective and starts offing anyone she perceives as a threat.

Joining Williams and McGraw in the sequel will be Ahsoka star Ivanna Sakhno. While it’s yet to be revealed who the Shin Hati actor will be playing, Blum and fellow producer James Wan previouslyconfirmed she’ll be one of the film’s leads.
