As of now, there is no official confirmation or announcement regarding a sequel to The Good Nurse (2022), titled The Good Nurse 2 (2025). The original film, directed by Tobias Lindholm and starring Jessica Chastain and Eddie Redmayne, was a critically acclaimed true-crime thriller based on the real-life story of serial killer Charles Cullen. Released on Netflix on October 26, 2022, the film garnered significant attention for its gripping narrative and stellar performances, particularly Redmayne’s portrayal of Cullen, which earned him multiple award nominations.
The original The Good Nurse had a reported budget of $75 million, which was primarily allocated to its high-profile cast, production quality, and Netflix’s acquisition of distribution rights for $25 million. The film was a commercial success on the streaming platform, debuting as the most-watched film on Netflix upon release and accumulating over 68 million viewing hours in its first week. Its success was further bolstered by its inclusion in Netflix’s Top 10 in 93 countries, showcasing its global appeal.
If The Good Nurse 2 were to be developed, it would likely explore new narratives within the medical or true-crime genre, potentially focusing on other untold stories of systemic failures or criminal activities in healthcare. Given the success of the original, a sequel would likely aim for a similar budget range to maintain the high production standards and attract a strong cast. However, as of now, no official trailer, release date, or production details for The Good Nurse 2 have been announced. Fans of the original film will need to wait for any updates from Netflix or the filmmakers regarding a potential continuation of the story.
