M3GAN is back for more sassy mayhem.
The viral artificial-intelligence doll returns in a newly released teaser trailer for M3GAN 2.0, a follow-up to the hit 2023 horror-comedy starring Allison Williams.
Perfectly set to Chappell Roan's "Femininomenon," the 47-second teaser features M3GAN herself performing her signature impressive-yet-unhinged dance routine.
"Miss me?" she askes the camera with a wink.

Producer Jason Blum first indicated that he had considered a M3GAN sequel in an interview with The New York Times in November 2022, several months before the movie hit theaters. Not long after the film’s release, a sequel was confirmed with a release date set in 2025.
During a panel at New York Comic Con in October 2024, Blum, 55, and Williams teased the forthcoming follow-up, calling it “bigger” and “more expansive” than the previous.
Speaking about the sequel to Entertainment Weekly in December 2024, Williams, 36, said she and director Gerard Johnstone felt a temptation to just take what worked about the first installment and “pummel it into the ground the second time.”
“It was really important that the sequel is a response to what people really loved about the first movie, but also this evolving conversation and fear that we're having about how A.I. is changing us and changing our children and changing society,” Johnstone told the outlet. “In a way, M3GAN is a personification of all of those fears.”

The director also promised that the new M3GAN film will include plenty of show-stopping outfits for the titular character — especially after the doll’s off-white dress and striped bow became fodder for many costume parties (even Drew Barrymore showed M3GAN’s fashion sense some love).
“Part of the fun of having a doll is being able to play dress-up,” Johnstone told EW. “We had a couple of looks in the first film, but I wanted 10 different looks for M3GAN. For the sequel, I felt like here's a chance to do that.”
Williams is also executive-producing a M3GAN spin-off titled SOULM8TE, which Blumhouse confirmed in June 2024 and has a release date of Jan. 2, 2026.
The film, which follows a lonely man who acquires an artificially intelligent bot to cope with the death of his wife, is directed by Kate Dolan and stars Evil Dead Rise actress Lily Sullivan, No Exit actor David Rysdahl and The Boys star Claudia Doumit .
M3GAN 2.0 is in theaters June 27.
