Katie Holmes is set to star in the sequel to the 2016 sleeper hit The Boy. She will play a hot mom whose son bonds with the creepy life-like doll that tormented hot babysitter Lauren Cohan (“The Walking Dead”) in the original.

Cameras roll on the STXfilms production on Jan. 14 in British Columbia with original Boy director William Brent Bell and writer Stacey Menear on board.

The film marks Holmes return to horror since the 2010 Guillermo del Toro produced remake Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark. Holmes, who came to fame on the hit teen soap “Dawson’s Creek,” is forever revered for her epic and timeless topless scene in the fittingly titled Sam Raimi supernatural thriller The Gift.
