Paramount and Blumhouse’s upcoming new installment in the Paranormal Activity franchise will be going straight to Paramount+, with Christopher Landon (Happy Death Day, Freaky) writing the script and William Eubank (Underwater) directing. We don’t yet have a date at this time, but Deadline reports today that it’s headed our way this Halloween season!
Additionally, a brand new documentary is also coming to Paramount+ for Halloween.
ViacomCBS Streaming’s Tanya Giles said in a statement today, “A new Paranormal Activity from Paramount Players should bring fans an unexpected reimagining of the beloved horror franchise. We’ll also be launching a documentary on the making of the Paranormal Activity. Both of which will be coming to the service in time for Halloween.”
The new movie has been recently described as “an unexpected retooling” of the franchise, reportedly continuing the tradition of taking a “found footage” approach.
Emily Bader, Roland Buck III, Dan Lippert and Henry Ayres-Brown lead the cast.
Christopher Landon is no stranger to the franchise, having written the second, third and fourth installments of the series, along with writing and directing PA: The Marked Ones.
