The 'Coronation Street' actor - who plays Daniel Osbourne on the ITV soap - will take on the villainous role of Walsh in the series, and his fellow cobbles co-star Ryan Prescott (Ryan Connor) is also part of the project.
A tweet on the film's Twitter account reads: "Who's excited about our latest cast announcement??
Who's ready to see a villainous @Rob_Mallard taking on the role of 'Walsh'?
With Rob and @ryanaprescott as our two new cast additions, who would you like to see return from Chapter 1: Liv?? (sic)"
This comes off the back of the release of 'Chapter 1: Liv' last year, which starred Brooke Vincent (Sophie Webster) and Sally Ann Matthews (Jenny Connor).
The film company are Crowdfunding to raise money to make the upcoming short, and managed to raise £2,235 within 28 days.
'Chapter 2' will tell the story of a guy called Zach who was in the same car crash as 'Chapter 1' character Olivia.
He will wake up to find himself chained to a table and being interrogated by a guy who shocks him whenever he likes.
A message on the film's Crowdfunding page reads: "We loved making the first film, and your response online and at festivals has been brilliant. We want to make this second film not only for us but for you! We will delve deeper into the strange world we left you in Chapter 1 and discover more about Olivia, Zach and various other characters we introduce in Chapter 2."
Brooke previously admitted she "loved" making the first instalment.
She said: "Finally It's Here!!! We all loved being a part of this short!! We hope you love it as much as we did making it (sic)"
