Aneesh Chaganty confirms Searching sequel

Searching starred John Cho in the lead role.

Filmmaker Aneesh Chaganty has confirmed that a sequel to his 2018 film Searching is in the making.

Chaganty, who made his directorial debut with the John Cho-starrer movie, shared the news on Twitter, saying the sequel will focus on new characters.

“It’s true. But note: the story will not follow the same characters or plot line as the first. Most importantly, we see this as an opportunity to tell another original, tech-driven thriller. If we can do that AND help bring new faces/voices to the industry, bonus points,” he tweeted.

“Searching, which premiered at Sundance Film Festival last year, follows a father (Cho) whose daughter goes missing and he decides to look for clues in her computer.
