Alex Garland, de scenarist van Dredd, heeft inspiratie voor twee vervolgen. Als de film van Pete Travis, die in Nederland op 11 oktober uit moet komen, een hit is mogen we ons dus misschien wel opmaken voor nog eens twee Judge Dredd films. Garland zei het volgende:

"We’ll see a sequel if the gross is above $50 million in the US. It’s a simple financial equation. We’re an independent movie… In terms of Dark Judges, I wrote Death into this script, but it didn’t feel right for the first film. I thought it felt right but after about 16 drafts and it really didn’t work out. I needed to have set up the city and Dredd first before taking on what is essentially a riff on the Judges. You need to know what the Judges are before you can subvert them. I wrote a second script which was about Dredd going out to the Cursed Earth. That was rejected for similar reasons. If they want to make sequels, I’ve got a story that goes from this one into the origins of Dredd and the city. Then the third one has would have a strange, existential attack from the Dark Judges."
