Netflix’s Fear Street franchise launched back in Summer 2021 with three movies, the trilogy saga telling one complete story that spanned from 1666 all the way up to 1994.
Directed by Leigh Janiak, the three movies were Fear Street: 1994, Fear Street: 1978 and Fear Street: 1666, the first film taking a page out of the Scream playbook, the second paying tribute to the golden age of slasher cinema, and the final film turning the clock even further back. What’s next from the saga? The fourth film is titled Fear Street: Prom Queen.
Coming soon, Fear Street: Prom Queen is based on the same-titled book that R.L. Stine published in 1992, and it’s set to take the film franchise – yet again – into a brand new decade.
Fear Street: Prom Queen will be nestled between the events of Fear Street: 1994 and Fear Street: 1978, with the new movie confirmed this week to be set in the late 1980s!
In Fear Street: Prom Queen, “Welcome back to Shadyside. In this next installment of the blood-soaked Fear Street franchise, prom season at Shadyside High is underway and the school’s wolfpack of It Girls is busy with its usual sweet and vicious campaigns for the crown. But when a gutsy outsider is unexpectedly nominated to the court, and the other girls start mysteriously disappearing, the class of ’88 is suddenly in for one hell of a prom night.”
Matt Palmer (Calibre) is directing the franchise’s upcoming fourth installment.
The Prom Queen was book #15 in R.L. Stine’s teen franchise, originally published on March 1, 1992. If you’d like to read it before the movie comes out, you can always find copies on eBay.
No word yet on when the Netflix movie will be released. Stay tuned for updates.
