Jaime Pressly will star in 'A Haunted House 2'.

The 'My Name is Earl' actress has joined the horror-comedy sequel in an unknown role alongside actor-and-producer Marlon Wayans and newcomer Steele Stebbins.

The actress will also star opposite 'Magic Mike' actor Gabriel Iglesias and 'Awkward' actress Ashley Rickards in the Michael Tiddes-directed film, which is due for release in US cinemas on March 28 next year, while a UK release date is still to be confirmed.

The new film centres on Wayans' protagonist from the first film, Malcolm, who attempts to start a life new life with his new girlfriend and her two children after his ex-girlfriend from the previous film was possessed by a demon.

Shortly after moving into a new home, however, Malcolm comes face to face with the paranormal once again.

'A Haunted House' was released earlier this year and grossed $40 million in the US on a modest budget of just $2.5 million.

The film was written and produced by Wayans and co-starred Essence Atkins and Cedric the Entertainer.

Wayans opted to create the new spoof franchise - which pokes fun at the 'Paranormal Activity' movies - after previously starring in the first two 'Scary Movie' flicks.
