Multiple outlets report that Universal and Imagine Entertainment are developing a sequel to the 2000 film “How the Grinch Stole Christmas” and are in discussions to bring back Jim Carrey as the Grinch and director Ron Howard. The reports say the project is still in early development, with no official title announced and plot details kept under wraps. Deadline, Variety, and The Hollywood Reporter also identify Universal and Imagine Entertainment as the producers, with Brian Grazer associated with the development. Several sources note that the sequel is intended as a live-action follow-up connected to the Dr. Seuss 1957 story. While some coverage frames Carrey’s return as ongoing talks rather than a confirmed deal, the overall reporting aligns that both Carrey and Howard are being considered to reprise their roles. Other outlets similarly describe the project as a follow-up that would reunite the film’s creative team, though they do not provide specifics on release timing, casting beyond Carrey and Howard, or what form the script will take.
