Sony Pictures greenlit this sequel just three days after The Grudge (2004) was theatrically released. The first film had already recouped its budget and made profit on its opening weekend alone, guaranteeing a sequel.
The first film omitted the subplot involving the three schoolgirls which was present in the original Ju-on: The Grudge (2002). The subplot was resurrected for this film (Misako Uno's character is even named Miyuki, just like one of the girls in the original film).
In the film, Aubrey finds a man playing peek-a-boo seemingly with no one on the subway, with it revealed that he was actually playing with Toshio (who's reflection is seen on the window). This is a reference to the original Ju-on: The Grudge (2002), which featured the same actor (Isao Yatsu) playing peek-a-boo with Toshio. Yatsu is known for appearing in several classic Japanese horror films like Ringu 2 (1999) and Dark Water (2002).
In order to keep the mood on the set light, the actors and director would often joke around and attempt to frighten one another. This included a Karaoke session performed by director Takashi Shimizu on Arielle Kebbel's birthday.
The original Japanese films kept the backstory of Kayako and her family relatively vague, with all of the details being implied. Takashi Shimizu said this was intentional and wished to keep it that way for the American remakes. However, studio interference is what lead to Shimizu begrudgingly giving Kayako a backstory in this film and introducing her mother. One idea was that Kayako would have a twin sister, which Shimizu vehemently rejected. The Grudge 3 (2009) would introduce Kayako's sister Naoko, though they aren't twins.
"[last lines] Jake: It's all your fault! What did you do? What did you bring here? Allison: [shaking and sobbing] It followed me here. THEY followed me here!"
"Eason: [talking about kayako's mother] She used to take evil spirits out from a person and feed them to her daughter."
