Curry Barker Teases Obsession 2 or Anthology Despite Plot Hole

Deadline reports that Curry Barker’s horror hit Obsession is thriving at the box office as he weighs a follow-up—either a direct Obsession 2 or an anthology TV series set in the same world. Barker acknowledges a plot hole around the One Wish Willow, noting the film’s rules don’t fully make sense because wishes could create alternate realities, yet the story still follows Bear’s and Ian’s wishes (and a money-wish moment) in a way that’s hard to reconcile. He envisions multiple episodes exploring different wishes or a film sequel, potentially directing the pilot with a new team, while remaining open to revisiting Obsession despite other projects in development.
