Multiple outlets report that Universal and Imagine Entertainment are developing a sequel to the 2000 film “How the Grinch Stole Christmas.” The project is described as being in early development, with a title not yet announced and the plot details kept under wraps. Coverage across sources says Jim Carrey is in talks to return to star as the Grinch, and that director Ron Howard is also expected to be involved, potentially returning to direct. Several reports frame the sequel as a follow-up to the modern holiday adaptation of Dr. Seuss’s 1957 children’s book, noting that the original film was a major box-office success. One outlet cites that the first movie earned more than $350 million worldwide at the time, while other sources focus on the production status rather than specific financial figures. None of the articles provide confirmed release dates or casting beyond Carrey and Howard’s reported involvement. Overall, the reporting converges on a reunion between Carrey and Howard for a new Grinch installment at Universal, with development ongoing.
