A new installment in the Paranormal Activity franchise is in development, spearheaded by horror legends James Wan and Jason Blum. This marks the first film since 2021’s Next of Kin, shifting the direction of the series as Wan aims to revitalizes the found-footage horror genre. The project is a collaboration between Blumhouse-Atomic Monster and Paramount Pictures, with original director Oren Peli also returning as a producer. Although specific details about the plot and release date are still under wraps, both Paramount and Blumhouse are prioritizing this project, looking to build on the franchise's legacy that began with its 2007 release, which was a massive financial success. Wan expressed excitement about evolving the series while still retaining its core spooky elements.

What is the release date of the new Paranormal Activity movie?

The release date for the new Paranormal Activity movie has not been announced yet, but it is considered a priority for both Paramount and Blumhouse-Atomic Monster, indicating a potential release in the near future.

Paranormal Activity originally debuted in 2007, and its unique found-footage style created a new wave of horror films. It became a sleeper hit, grossing nearly $200 million globally against a budget of just $15,000. Subsequent sequels explored various storylines and characters within the same chilling universe, although the last major entry in the series, The Ghost Dimension, was met with lukewarm reception. The franchise aims to make a resurgence with this new film, tapping into Wan’s experience in the horror genre, which includes hits like The Conjuring series and Insidious.
