2000年的《死神来了》给观众和新线公司都带来了一个惊喜。这部影片的结尾之处给人留下了深刻的印象，甚至有点令人毛骨悚然。这个讲述几位少年逃生计划的故事曾获得了1000万美元的首映票房，良好的口碑使其最终赢取了5300万美元的票房收入。在好莱坞没人会将一部有利可图的影片视而不见，不久新线公司就决定拍摄这部红极一时影片的续集。
续集的故事是这样的：正如一位大学新生所预感的那样，一场交通事故发生了，于是一帮人得以碰在了一起。他们在克利尔-里弗斯(Clear Rivers，由曾主演过第一部的艾丽-拉特饰，Ali Larter)的帮助下，纷纷伸出援助之手，去挽救一个尚未出生孩子的生命。这部影片的故事与其第一集衔接得很好，并围绕"死亡"和他们尘世间的计划产生出了许多令人意想不到和启迪的事件。
前一集的主演德文-萨瓦(Devon Sawa)不再出现在这部影片中，但是艾丽-拉特和托尼-托德(Tony Todd，他在前一集影片中仅仅是一个配角)如今担纲了本片的主演，出演本片主要角色的还有A.J.库克(A.J. Cook，曾出演《处女之死》“The Virgin Suicides”，1999年)。前一集编剧/导演成员中的格伦-摩根(Glenn Morgan)和王颖(James Wong)也不会再出现在这部影片中。
本片将是戴维-埃利斯(David Ellis)首次执导的影片。前不久，他还担任了《黑客帝国2》(“The Matrix Reloaded”)的第一副导演。这部续集的剧本由J.麦基-格鲁伯(J. Mackeye Gruber)和埃里克-布雷斯(Eric Bress)联手创作，这也是俩人的首次合作
