Production
The concept of a sequel to Bigsby has been discussed by the cast and crew since wrapping production on the film, with the general consensus being that it would never actually be produced despite there already being a basic outline for the plot.

On May 23, 2018, Fritz posted a screenshot on Instagram of a title page for a script which read "Cyril the Clown". It was later announced that the script would be read live by the cast as part of Tar City's Burnt Out event on September 15, 2018. The cast included Ian Green as "Roy" (Bigsby's father) and Michael MacNeil as "Andrew Martel", with Rachael Murphy, Mitch Murrant, and Fritz Bishop reprising their roles as Clem, Shopsy, and Bigsby respectively.

The episode, which acts as both as a prequel and a sequel to the original film, explains how Cyril met Clem, what happened after his failed suicide attempt, how he first began performing as a clown, and introduces Cyril's father, Roy.

Moses makes a brief, characteristically silent appearance in the episode, trading bowls of soup for bottles out of a sheet metal canopy store front at a homeless commune in the local scrapyard. Cyril is described as wearing the denim jacket belonging to Shaky, who is absent from the episode. Frankie and Colton are also notably absent from the episode, with no reference made to either character.

After the reading, Fritz confirmed that while the events of the script are canon, there are still no plans to produce Cyril as a film.
