Warning: Spoilers for American Mary Ahead
Jen and Sylvia Soska recently shared some great news with fans, as they plan to adapt their feature film American Mary into a television series. The news comes courtesy of the Twisted Twins Twitter account. The film's premise followed Mary Mason (Katharine Isabelle), a medical student strapped for cash, so she becomes involved in extreme body modification for some extra money and, later, revenge.
The announcement was in light of Twitter user @SunriseMendoza asking them to remake their second film, but with a slight twist. They wrote, "@twisted_twins can you guys remake American Mary but change the ending so we can get a second movie or make a mini series with @netflix @hulu @hbomax."
The reason for asking for a different ending is the unfortunate end of the film, with the husband of one of Mary's first patients being displeased with her work and stabbing her with a knife. Mary's last act, after killing her attacker, was to try and stitch up her own wounds. A medical doctor to the very end.
Questions, But Sadly No Answers (Yet)
In their tweet, the Soska Sisters said that the TV series would pick up right where the film leaves off and that they "always wanted to expand Mary's world for a few seasons to really dig into her journey." So it seems as though she's going to be in the series, for those wondering if there was going to be American Mary without Mary. But still, that begs one major question.
How will they explain the dead main character if the series won't be a remake or direct sequel? Well, they haven't officially revealed anything yet and probably won't for quite some time. But, of course, multiple characters in both films and television have been brought back from worse, so there are always possibilities.
Another question that's sure to be on fans' minds is if Isabelle is coming back. That seems likely, as Isabelle received rave reviews for her performance in the role. She earned a reward for Best Actress from Screamfest Horror Film Festival, Toronto After Dark Film Festival, Fright Meter Awards, and Fangoria Chainsaw Awards. The role was also written for her in mind for the part. However, it's too early to assume anything regarding her possible return. A lot could happen between now and filming, so fans and viewers alike will have to wait for further updates.
