Michael Johnston Breaks Silence on Possible Obsession Sequel
Actor Michael Johnston has responded to growing speculation about a sequel to the hit psychological thriller Obsession, revealing that no follow-up movie is currently in development.
The film became an unexpected success, gaining attention from horror and thriller fans after its release. Johnston, who portrayed the character Bear, recently discussed the possibility of returning to the franchise.
Speaking on the podcast I’ve Never Said This Before, the 30-year-old actor said he would be interested in revisiting the world of Obsession, but confirmed there are no official plans for a sequel at the moment.
Johnston described the movie’s universe as unpredictable and said anything could happen in the future. However, he also joked that fans may not necessarily be demanding the return of his character after Bear’s storyline.
The actor even suggested a possible storyline where Bear’s parents return to uncover the truth behind his disappearance, only to become connected to the film’s mysterious elements themselves.
Possible Future of the Obsession Franchise
While a direct sequel does not appear to be happening soon, Johnston praised writer and director Curry Barker’s creative approach to expanding the franchise.
The actor said the idea of turning Obsession into an anthology series could be an exciting direction, with each installment exploring a different story and new characters.
The psychological horror thriller, which arrived in theaters on May 15, 2026, has gained popularity for its unique concept and suspenseful storytelling.
With no confirmed sequel in development, fans may have to wait to see whether the franchise returns through a new chapter or a completely different storyline.
For now, Michael Johnston’s comments suggest that the future of Obsession remains open, but a direct continuation is unlikely in the near term.
