One of the scariest home invasion movies of all time, Bryan Bertino’s The Strangers terrified audiences with its chilling simplicity back in 2008, introducing three masked killers who torment, torture and ultimately murder a young couple at an isolated home in the woods. A full ten years later, the characters returned in a sequel, The Strangers: Prey at Night.
And six years after that movie, the masked murderers are back in director Renny Harlin’s The Strangers: Chapter 1, the first movie in a brand new trilogy that will reboot the franchise.
The Strangers: Chapter 1 will be playing in theaters nationwide on May 17, 2024, but when can we expect The Strangers: Chapter 2 and The Strangers: Chapter 3?
We don’t yet have release dates for either of those two sequels, but producer Courtney Solomon announced at WonderCon this month that at least Chapter 2 is coming THIS YEAR.
The Strangers: Chapter 2 is currently expected in Fall 2024.
During the same WonderCon panel, director Renny Harlin promised that The Strangers: Chapter 1 is NOT a remake of the 2008 movie, despite the trailer suggesting it might be. The set-up may be the same, but we expect the film will eventually pivot down a new path.
Madelaine Petsch is the lead of the new reboot trilogy, playing a character who drives cross-country with her longtime boyfriend to begin a new life in the Pacific Northwest.
When their car breaks down in Venus, Oregon, they’re forced to spend the night in a secluded Airbnb, where they are terrorized from dusk till dawn by three masked strangers.
