Christian Gudegast wrote the script for the sequel. Focus Features which acquired the distribution rights to London Has Fallen is aiming to start filming this October to be in time for a planned October 2, 2015 release date.

According to Digital Spy, the sequel will see US president (Eckhart), secret service agent (Butler) and speaker of the US House of Representatives (Freeman) attending the funeral of the British prime minister following his death under mysterious circumstances.

Only three people can stop the sinister plot: the US President, Secret Service Agent Banning, and an MI-6 agent who trusts no one, Empire further revealed.

London Has Fallen is produced by Gerard Butler with Alan Siegel, Mark Gill and Matt O'Toole. Focus Features CEO Peter Schlessel and Millenium Films' Avi Lerner will executive produce with Trevor Short, Boaz Davidson, John Thompson and Christine Crow according to The Wrap.
