Laurie Strode and her crew are back for Halloween Kills, with extra help from a few new faces. The 2018 Halloween might have been a direct sequel to the 1978 classic, but it didn’t end Michael Myers’s story permanently – we’re getting, in fact, a trilogy. The next two films will be directed by David Gordon Green and written by Green and Danny McBride. Originally set to come out in 2020, Halloween Kills has been pushed back until October 2021, and the final movie, Halloween Ends, is slated to come out in October 2022. Still, that doesn’t mean that we’re in the dark altogether. Plot-wise, the spooky follow-up will remain in Halloween of the year 2018 as Laurie and other survivors form a mob against the mysterious killer. And other than the story, we have lots of details, including intel on the cast, which will feature many familiar faces. Jamie Lee Curtis, Judy Greer, and the rest of the gang are back, with support from both OG Halloween actors and newcomers. Read ahead to check out who’s returning and who’s brand new to the scene!

Nick Castle as Michael Myers
Filmmaker Nick Castle returns to his 1978 role as Michael Myers, and it’s likely that his role will be as minor as it was in the 2018 version. In 2018, he did the audio for Michael’s creepy breathing sounds (like in the postcredits) and briefly appeared in the window scene.

James Jude Courtney as Michael Myers
Though he was a headliner in the 2018 film, Castle held a role that was, in fact, really more of a cameo. In 2018, the majority of Michael’s movements was done by actor and stuntman James Jude Courtney, who will continue starring as the creepy villain in the sequel, as Castle confirmed on Twitter.
