UPDATE: In a surprising revelation, actress Mia Goth addressed speculation about a potential sequel to Frankenstein during her recent appearance at the Palm Springs Film Festival. Fans are buzzing after Goth hinted at discussions with director Guillermo del Toro regarding a possible continuation of the beloved franchise.
During an interview with Collider, Goth responded directly to questions about the rumored Bride of Frankenstein sequel. “I did bring that up to him, and he said, ‘But Victor Frankenstein is dead,’” she stated, highlighting a significant plot challenge that could hinder any sequel. “That is an issue. That is definitely an issue overall,” she added, leaving fans intrigued about the film’s future.
Goth, who plays both Elizabeth Harlander and Claire Frankenstein in the original film, expressed her excitement about working with del Toro. “When Guillermo del Toro calls you just with one role, that’s an honor, let alone with two,” she shared. “I was totally beside myself, really and incredibly nervous and very excited, and the entire experience was just very, very special.”
The film, which stars Jacob Elordi as the Creature, was released in limited theaters on October 17, 2025, and is now available for streaming on Netflix. With a runtime of 149 minutes, Frankenstein has garnered critical acclaim for its intricate set design, practical effects, and powerful performances.
Despite the growing interest in a sequel, del Toro has stated that he envisioned Frankenstein as a complete narrative. During a post-screening Q&A, he described the project as “the end of an era” for him, indicating that there are currently no plans for a sequel. However, Goth’s acknowledgment of their discussions suggests that the idea has not been completely dismissed.
With fans eager for more, the success of Frankenstein has sparked conversations about extending the story, despite the narrative obstacles presented by the death of Victor Frankenstein. As speculation continues, viewers are left wondering if del Toro and Goth will ultimately find a way to bring the Bride of Frankenstein to life.
As developments unfold, fans are encouraged to keep an eye on official announcements from del Toro and the production team. The excitement surrounding Goth’s comments ensures that the conversation about a sequel will persist, keeping the franchise alive in the hearts of its audience.
