A Smile sequel is one of the goals, according to The Hollywood Reporter, which reports that Parker Finn has inked a multi-year, first-look contract with Paramount Pictures.

“Smile’s breakthrough success is a testament to Parker’s unique and fresh filmmaking, and we are thrilled that he will make Paramount his home,” said Paramount CEO Brian Robbins.
“Parker knows how to keep people on the edge of their seat and we’re happy that we get to keep scaring audiences together,” Paramount’s Michael Ireland and Daria Cercek added.
