Happy Death Day 2U (2019)

Happy Death Day 2U is the sequel to the sci-fi comedy/slasher film released in 2017, with Jessica Rothe returning to star as protagonist Tree Gelbman. Having believed she had escaped her hellish groundhog day of dying repeatedly, Tree wakes up to find herself stuck in yet another loop - with her friend being the target this time. Working together with her friends, the group learns that a high-school project is the cause of the chaos, but elements of the new reality prove to be tempting for Tree to keep things the way they are.
