The highly anticipated sequel “The Priests 2: Dark Nuns” is officially slated for release on January 24, 2025, with a newly unveiled international poster, distributor NEW (Next Entertainment World) announced Monday. This follow-up to the 2015 film “The Priests,” which attracted over 5.44 million viewers and helped establish Korean occult cinema, introduces a darker narrative centered on a forbidden ritual to save a boy possessed by a powerful demon.
The film stars Song Hye-kyo and Jeon Yeo-been in leading roles, bringing an exciting collaboration between two powerhouse actresses known for their versatility and intense portrayals. Song, whose recent role in the global hit series “The Glory” earned her widespread acclaim, takes on the character Sister Yunia. Yunia is a determined and fearless nun who will go to any lengths to save the possessed boy. Playing opposite her is Jeon as Sister Michaela, a curious and skeptical nun driven by doubt. Known for her diverse roles in “Vincenzo,” “Cobweb,” and “Night in Paradise,” Jeon’s character adds depth and tension to the film, promising an engaging dynamic between the two leads.
Joining the cast is Lee Jin-wook as Father Paolo, a psychiatrist who is skeptical about demonic possession. Lee, recently cast in “Squid Game” Season 2, brings a contrasting perspective to the film as a man of science who questions the supernatural. The role of Hee-jun, the tormented boy at the center of the exorcism, is played by young actor Moon Woo-jin, known for his performances in “Castaway Diva” and “Hijacking.”
Since its announcement, “The Priests 2: Dark Nuns” has garnered significant international interest. The film drew attention from global buyers at the 2024 Asian Contents & Film Market, highlighting its potential for success beyond Korea. The newly released international poster, showing Sisters Yunia and Michaela guiding the tormented boy toward an unknown fate, captures the film’s eerie atmosphere and hints at the intense, dangerous ritual that lies ahead.
The synergy between Song and Jeon, paired with a compelling storyline that delves into faith, doubt, and forbidden rites, positions “The Priests 2: Dark Nuns” as a must-see film for both Korean and international audiences. The film aims to build on the success of its predecessor while expanding the world of Korean occult cinema with a fresh narrative and high-profile cast.
With its scheduled release approaching, “The Priests 2: Dark Nuns” is set to bring audiences a unique blend of suspense and horror, showcasing powerful performances and a gripping storyline that explores the boundaries of faith and resilience against dark forces.
