As of now, there has been no official announcement regarding a sequel to "Death Race 4: Beyond Anarchy." While the franchise has had several installments since its inception, the future of the series remains uncertain. The film industry often revisits popular franchises, so it's possible that another "Death Race" movie could be developed, but no concrete plans have been confirmed as of October 2023. Fans of the series should stay tuned for any updates from the production companies involved.

Jason Statham did not return for "Death Race 2" because the film is a prequel to the original "Death Race" (2008), which he starred in. "Death Race 2" features a different storyline and a new cast, focusing on the character Carl Lucas, played by Luke Goss. Statham's character, Jensen Ames, is not part of the prequel's narrative, leading to his absence. The film aimed to explore the origins of the brutal racing competition, thus requiring a fresh cast to tell that backstory.
