The disembodied hand with possession powers is coming back—but you’ll need a Meta headset to experience the new 3D series.
A few years ago, sibling directing duo Danny and Michael Philippou made the leap from viral YouTube videos to the Hollywood A-list, with A24 picking up their breakout feature Talk to Me. At the time, the brothers teased their sequel ambitions, and a follow-up to the horror hit was officially greenlit in August of 2023. Now we have news of more Talk to Me on the way, but it’s not the cinematic sequel fans have been waiting for.
According to Variety, the Talk to Me universe will expand with a series of six half-hour episodes “created exclusively for Meta headsets and shot fully in 3D, making for a fully immersive XR experience that will allow horror fans to feel like they’re living out the terror.”
That terror, of course, will draw on the movie’s premise: a disembodied hand with the power to possess anyone adventurous or foolish enough to grab ahold of it. A brief jaunt into the spirit realm may be thrilling, but it can also be extremely dangerous, as the Talk to Me characters learn when their party game takes an irresponsible turn. “Trapped in a hell dimension” is not a great way to spend your prime years, kids!
It sounds like that lesson will be learned anew, as the series will follow “a group of young travelers chasing the ultimate party on a European island until they discover the Hand, a supernatural high deadlier than any drug.
