– A Hilarious, Terrifying, and Musical Return to the Plant Shop of Nightmares
Little Shop of Horrors 2: New Monster (2026) revives the beloved horror-comedy-musical franchise with a fresh twist that brings even more over-the-top horror, dark humor, and catchy tunes. After the events of the original film, Seymour (played by Adam Driver) and Audrey (played by Emma Stone) have settled into what seems like a normal life, with the world believing that Audrey II has been destroyed. But as always, trouble is never too far behind in this wacky world of carnivorous plants.

The couple soon discovers that their past is far from over when a new, even more terrifying plant (voiced by Tessa Thompson) mysteriously appears in their plant shop. This new monster is larger, more dangerous, and far more cunning than its predecessor, and it quickly begins to wreak havoc on the city. With a hunger for much more than just blood, it’s not long before Seymour and Audrey are once again thrust into the chaotic battle to save themselves and the world from another monstrous threat.
This time around, Bill Murray joins the cast as a hilariously terrified botanist who becomes an unlikely ally in the fight against the new terror.

Each number is a mix of dark humor and outrageous visuals that will have you singing along while also cringing at the horror unfolding on screen.
As the tension builds, the horror ramps up with larger-than-life set pieces and monstrous mayhem. The new plant is not just a physical threat; its ability to manipulate and control makes it an even more sinister force. With each passing moment, the characters are forced to confront not just the monstrous plant, but also the consequences of their previous actions, leading to an emotional and thrilling final showdown. It’s a race against time, and the fate of the plant shop—and the world—rests on Seymour and Audrey’s shoulders.
The film’s comedic elements are as sharp as ever, with plenty of laugh-out-loud moments that come from both the absurdity of the situation and the quirky personalities of the characters.
