Directed by Tom Harper and written by Jon Croker, the second film stars Jeremy Irvine, Phoebe Fox and Helen McCrory.
The Woman in Black 2 will continue the story four decades later. Seized by the government during World War II, the sudden arrival of a group of evacuated children at Eel Marsh House awakens its darkest inhabitant.
