After wowing the world with his work on Black Panther and Creed, Ryan Coogler took a major creative detour, crafting a chilling mix of blues, horror, and vampiric mayhem. Sinners stars none other than Michael B. Jordan, who teams up with Coogler again to bring this dark, atmospheric tale to life.
The story follows twins, Smoke and Stack, as they run a juke joint in Mississippi, until a vampire crew crashes their party and turns things into a full-blown bloodbath. The ending definitely leaves the door open for more, with a few surviving characters that could lead to something bigger. But, despite the cliffhanger vibes, Coogler isn’t quite ready to dive into a sequel just yet. What’s behind his hesitation? Let’s break it down.
Is Sinners Sequel Happening?
So, is a Sinners sequel actually happening? Well, if you were hoping for a follow-up to the blood-soaked, blues-infused horror flick, you might want to curb those expectations. Ryan Coogler, the director behind Sinners, has firmly stated that a sequel is not on his mind.

When asked about it in an interview with Ebony, Coogler’s response was blunt yet insightful, “I never think about that.” It makes sense when you think about Coogler’s past work on massive franchise projects like Black Panther and Creed. After immersing himself in those epic universes, Coogler was ready to step away from all that.
For Sinners, Coogler was all about creating something original, something that felt fresh and personal. He had an appetite for storytelling that wasn’t driven by the need to continue a franchise or create multiple sequels. Instead, he wanted to deliver an experience that felt complete in its own right.
Coogler elaborated on his intention by saying, “I wanted the movie to feel like a full meal: your appetizers, starters, entrees, and desserts, I wanted all of it there. I wanted it to be a holistic and finished thing.”
In other words, Coogler’s vision for Sinners was always to make it a self-contained story, where the characters’ fates were sealed with a sense of finality. The story might leave a few loose ends, but Coogler’s goal was to give audiences a fulfilling cinematic experience without the need for a sequel.
So while Sinners may have a door slightly cracked for more, don’t hold your breath for a sequel anytime soon. Coogler is focused on creating fresh, original stories, and that’s what we can expect next.
Was there a Post-Credits Scene In Sinners?
Oh yes, Sinners pulls a sneaky one and rewards the patient. Not only does it have a post-credits scene, it has two, and they’re both dripping with juicy sequel potential.
The first scene jumps decades ahead to 1992 and drops us into a smoky blues club, where an elderly Sammie (played by actual blues legend Buddy Guy) is still strumming and surviving. But then, bam! in walk Stack and Mary, looking not a day older than they did in 1932. Vampire chic in denim and vintage sweaters? Iconic. And spooky. Their undead glow hints at secrets still left to bite.
The second scene is quieter but powerful, flashing back to young Sammie serenading the universe with “This Little Light of Mine,” echoing the film’s opening. It’s a poetic bookend, and a setup.
So what do these scenes mean? Well, Stack and Mary’s return in full vampire mode suggests their story is far from over. Whether it’s a ‘90s-set sequel with neon-soaked vampire blues or a road movie featuring immortal lovers navigating America, Coogler definitely cracked open the coffin lid.
He may say he’s not planning a sequel, but those scenes? They whisper otherwise. If there’s blood left to spill and blues left to play, we haven’t seen the last of Sinners.
