Time can prove a cruel mistress to the legacy of some movies. For others, it is the distance that allows a reevaluation from audiences, turning a once-critiqued project into a cult classic. That is what has happened to the genius feminist horror flick Jennifer’s Body, which, thanks to sex-appeal-driven marketing, was not seen for its clever feminist ideology at the time. 17 years on, Karyn Kusama‘s third directorial feature, written by Diablo Cody, has been reframed by a new generation of audience, and seen as one of the best of its kind from the past 25 years.

Starring Megan Fox and Amanda Seyfried as two unlikely best friends, Jennifer’s Body takes place following the demonic possession of the former, as she begins to kill the men around her and consume their flesh to survive. Featuring intelligent direction, memorable performances, and a killer 2000s rock soundtrack, Jennifer’s Body is a true gem of the horror comedy genre, with audiences on review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes calling it an “absolute classic,” and another saying, “Jennifer’s Body is a darkly funny and surprisingly smart horror film that mixes teen drama with sharp satire and killer performances.”

If you are one of the few left to rediscover Jennifer’s Body, you’re in luck, as it is about to debut on a new streamer. As of March 1, 2026, you’ll be able to watch Jennifer’s Body on Starz in the U.S. Made for just $16 million, its relatively small budget was enough to help bypass the negative reviews and make a solid return at the box office. Globally, Jennifer’s Body earned $32 million, split evenly between a domestic haul of $16 million and a further $16 million from overseas markets.

Could a ‘Jennifer’s Body’ Sequel Be on the Cards?

In the age of sequels and reboots, and considering the newfound love for Jennifer’s Body, a sequel feels like an obvious choice. Excitingly, back in October 2025, director Kusama confirmed that work on a script is underway in an interview, saying, “I know she’s [Diablo Cody] working on it right now, and I’m very excited to hear what comes of it.” She continued, “I know some of the bones of it, so I’m not going to give anything away, but it sounds fun and crazy like the first film. And I have no doubt that Diablo will do something absolutely incredible with it.”

Jennifer’s Body is streaming on Starz this March. Stay tuned to Collider for more streaming stories.
