Two years subsequent to the initial release, in the year 2015, a sequel to the original film, titled Jezebeth 2: Hour of the Gun, was unveiled to the public and garnered widespread critical acclaim, subsequently garnering recognition in the form of a prestigious award, specifically the Best Film Score accolade, at the esteemed RIP Film Festival, held in the iconic city of Hollywood, on the evening of October 30, 2015.
Fast forward to the year 2017, a pivotal moment in the career of the innovative and visionary filmmaker, Damien Dante, as he unveiled the highly anticipated Jezebeth TV Series, a groundbreaking production that would soon become exclusively available on the esteemed Amazon Prime platform, courtesy of the illustrious SGL Entertainment.
As the project neared its launch, the anticipation was palpable, with filming set to commence on March 10, 2018, in the picturesque towns of Peoria, Illinois, and Muscatine, Iowa, providing a unique and captivating backdrop for the series' unfolding narrative.
