Nightwatch Sequel Coming to Shudder Next Month

Nightwatch: Demons Are Forever, written and directed by Ole Bornedal, the creator behind the original 1994 film, is a legacy sequel coming to Shudder May 17, 2024.

The film also reunites stars Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, Kim Bodnia, and Ulf Pilgaard in the continuation in which 22-year-old medical student Emma (Fanny Leander Bornedal) has just taken a job as the night watch in the same forensic department where her parents were once almost killed by the famed psychopathic police inspector Wörmer (Pilgaard). The events led to her mother’s suicide, and her father Martin (Coster-Waldau) has turned to tranquilizers to suppress the memories. Determined to investigate what exactly happened to them, Emma tracks down and confronts Wörmer, only to unintentionally reawaken his bloodthirst and ignite a violent revenge on everyone who sealed his destiny years ago.
