Two years after the ambitious trilogy directed by Leigh Janiak, Netflix is headed back to R.L. Stine‘s Fear Street with a brand new movie, Collider reports this afternoon.
Granted, this isn’t the first time we’ve heard about a potential fourth Fear Street movie. As you may recall, it had been reported back in December 2022 that a new movie was in the works, and Netflix’s Scott Stuber reveals to Collider this week that those plans haven’t changed.
Stuber, Head of Netflix Film, explains: “Obviously, there’s a lot of books. There’s one stand-alone that we’re working on right now that we’re once again trying to get the script right, but I like it very much, and so does the team. So I feel like if we can get that script right there would be a great kind of extension of that franchise.”
Based on R.L. Stine’s teen horror franchise, Netflix’s “Fear Street Trilogy” debuted in Summer 2021, the three films unfolding one massive story across three weekends of release.
It sounds like the fourth movie that’s currently being scripted will tell its own standalone story, and there’s indeed no shortage of Stine tales to pull from for inspiration.
Stay tuned for more as we learn it.
