Nearly 17 years after its original release, Jennifer’s Body is experiencing a major resurgence on Netflix. The 2009 horror-comedy starring Megan Fox has climbed into Netflix’s Top 10 movies in the U.S. shortly after arriving on the streaming platform this month.
Directed by Karyn Kusama and written by Diablo Cody, Jennifer’s Body stars Fox as Jennifer Check, a possessed high school cheerleader who begins preying on her male classmates, while her best friend, played by Amanda Seyfried, tries to stop the chaos.
Although the film struggled at the box office during its original 2009 theatrical run, it has since evolved into a widely recognized cult classic, especially among younger audiences who have revisited its feminist themes, dark humor, and commentary on female friendship.
The renewed popularity on Netflix has also reignited conversations about a possible sequel. Recent reports indicate that Kusama and Cody are actively discussing a continuation of the franchise, with both Fox and Seyfried reportedly interested in returning.
The film’s streaming success marks another major moment in the ongoing reevaluation of Fox’s career, with many fans and critics now viewing Jennifer’s Body as one of the actress’s most defining performances.
