Fear Street 3 is an upcoming American horror film directed by Leigh Janiak and based on the book series of the same name by R. L. Stine. It is set to become the last film in a trilogy that will be released one month after another on Netflix.[1]
Plot
In 1666, a colonial town is gripped by a hysterical witch-hunt that has deadly consequences for centuries to come, and it's up to teenagers in 1994 to try and finally put an end to their town's curse, before it's too late.[2]
Release
The first film of the trilogy was scheduled to be released in June 2020,[3] but it was pulled from the schedule because of the COVID-19 pandemic.[4] In April 2020, Chernin Entertainment ended their distribution deal with 20th Century Studios and made a multi-year first-look deal with Netflix.[5]
On August 11, 2020, it was reported that Netflix had acquired the trilogy for a mid 2021 release date with the original strategy of releasing one film per month.[1][4]
