Lindsey Beer Boards ‘Pet Sematary’ Follow Up as Director For Paramount+
We first told you about the Pet Sematary follow up coming to Paramount+ a few months ago. Now that project has found its director in Lindsey Beer, a well known screenwriter that will make her directorial debut with the follow-up to Pet Sematary.
Stephen King wrote the 1989 novel of the same name and also says it’s the scariest of his stories. Deadline revealed that this installment will be a follow-up adaptation to the 2019 film, which saw key details of the story be changed.

The studio wanted to go back to the roots of the first film and bring back a female director for the next chapter. The first adaptation was directed by Mary Lambert, who also returned to the directors chair for the 1992 sequel.
Beer also wrote the latest script based off a draft by Jeff Buhler. Plot details are unknown at this time. Both the 1989 and 2019 Pet Sematary adaptions follow the Creed family after a devastating tragedy. Unable to move forward, a friendly neighbor tells the grieving father about an ancient burial ground that brings the dead back to life.
No word for when the next chapter of Pet Sematary will hit the streaming platform. But be sure to stay tuned to ScaryNerd for more of all things horror, sci-fi and more.
