WARNING: The following contains SPOILERS for The Last Voyage of the Demeter.

The horror film The Last Voyage of the Demeter chronicles a little-known tale plucked straight from a chapter of Bram Stoker's Dracula, with the original's resounding success, does it mean that there is any The Last Voyage of the Demeter 2 news coming out? André Øvredal's supernatural horror thriller adapts the chapter known as "The Captain's Log" from Dracula, a rarely told piece of the overall story that certainly hasn't received this type of long-form treatment. The Last Voyage of the Demeter was released in theaters on August 11th, 2023 after a staggeringly long period in development and release date delays.

Now that it's out, many are curious if there's any The Last Voyage of the Demeter sequel news. The Last Voyage of the Demeter has a breakout cast and saw the ill-fated trip of the merchant ship Demeter led by Captain Elliot (Liam Cunningham) from Transylvania to London. As the voyage wears on, eerie things begin to happen, and it's soon discovered that the ship holds the most dangerous cargo known to man — Dracula. The Last Voyage of the Demeter does set up something of a sequel, and there's much more of a story to be told. Here's what's known.

The Most Recent The Last Voyage Of The Demeter 2 News

The latest The Last Voyage of the Demeter 2 news sees horror author Stephen King giving the original film a stellar review. King is known for giving various film endorsements via Twitter, and prior to the film's release took to the social media platform to let audiences know that the Dracula movie has his seal of approval. In King's Twitter post, he its that he was at first skeptical about the film's quality, but changed his mind upon viewing, calling it a "throat-ripping good time." King's endorsements can make or break a horror movie, so his thumbs-up for The Last Voyage of the Demeter could bring about sequel news.

The Last Voyage Of The Demeter 2 Isn't Confirmed

While the most recent The Last Voyage of the Demeter sequel news doesn't see the film as confirmed, the first movie is gaining traction among audiences, which could warrant a sequel. Though The Last Voyage of the Demeter's Rotten Tomatoes score is following a dismal Dracula trend, middling reviews haven't stopped audiences from expressing their enjoyment of the film. If audience demand proves to be high enough, it's possible that The Last Voyage of the Demeter 2 could be confirmed to be in development at some point. If this were to happen, hopefully, a The Last Voyage of Demeter 2 release date would follow.

The Last Voyage Of The Demeter 2 Cast

There isn't any The Last Voyage of the Demeter sequel news regarding a prospective cast, but very few people survive the first film, so carryover from one film to the other would be scant. The Last Voyage of the Demeter 2 cast would only include the two main characters that survived the original voyage, Dracula, who is portrayed by monster movie actor Javier Botet (IT, The Mummy, The Conjuring 2), and Clemens, who is played by Corey Hawkins (Straight Outta Compton). Clemens would be the main member of The Last Voyage of the Demeter sequel cast, as he ends the film vowing to find and kill Dracula.

How The Ending Of The Last Voyage Of The Demeter Sets Up A Sequel

The Last Voyage of the Demeter doesn't seem like it sets up a sequel, since almost everyone ends up dead, but the film does indeed leave room for another movie thanks to Clemens. While the rest of the crew ends up dead by Dracula's hands, Clemens manages to survive, but Dracula is fully aware of Clemens' presence. The final moments that see the pair in London and meeting at a pub suggests that the titular vampire is challenging Clemens to kill him, ultimately setting up The Last Voyage of the Demeter 2 news.

With the horrors caused by Dracula, there's no question that Clemens will make it his life's mission to hunt the vampire down and slay him for good. While The Last Voyage of the Demeter doesn't have a post-credits scene, the ending moments of the film do enough to set up another installment, as the final scene is highly charged with emotion and Clemens is clearly seeking revenge for the death of the crew. Hopefully, The Last Voyage of the Demeter 2 news will break soon, as the ending of the first movie clearly sets up a sequel.

The Last Voyage Of The Demeter 2 Story

Unfortunately, there isn't any The Last Voyage of the Demeter sequel news yet regarding another story. In addition, many of the characters in the film weren't a part of Dracula, such as Clemens, as the story that the film covers is "The Captain's Log" chapter, which is told primarily through Dr. Seward. That being said The Last Voyage of the Demeter 2 story has been clearly set up by the ending, and the sequel will assuredly see Clemens hunting down Dracula.

"The Captain's Log" served as a narrative device in Stoker's book to explain how Dracula got to England and reveal the importance of his Transylvanian soil. Whether The Last Voyage of the Demeter 2 will see Clemens ing forces with the main characters from Dracula, or if he goes off on a solo mission, changing Stoker's story, remains to be seen.
