Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters Will Get a Sequel

Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters has passed $205 million at the worldwide box office, so do you know what that means? Yes, a sequel.

According to Deadline, a follow-up to the Jeremy Renner and Gemma Arterton fantasy adventure is officially in development at Paramount.

"The pic disappointed when it opened here January 25, grossing just $18M. Paramount said the film cost $50M but other estimates put the budget at $83M — but either way it was an underperformer in the U.S.," said Deadline.

No word yet on whether Renner and Arterton will return (they likely had sequel clauses in their contracts), but producers Will Ferrell and Adam McKay (yes, they produced Hansel & Gretel!) will return for the sequel.
