A remake of the famous 1956 horror film The Bad Seed, which was based on a 1954 book by William March, was broadcast on Lifetime in 2018. Emma, the nine-year-old daughter of David Grossman’s recently widowed (Rob Lowe), was portrayed by Grace. While she doesn’t really kill her father, Emma’s violent and manipulative behavior ultimately results in his passing. The sequel to 2018’s The Bad Seed has Mckenna Grace as the lead.

The Bad Seed Returns Plot
The Bad Seed Returns takes us back to when Emma is 15 years old. She now continues to live with her aunt Angela and does normal teenage girl things.

He wants to send Emma to boarding school, but it looks like she will cause trouble before he can do that. Well, a new girl at school knows what Emma has been keeping the secret. And if there’s one thing you can say about Emma, it’s that she won’t let anyone hurt her. So what if she goes back to her old ways and turns into the scary person she was born to be?
