Lionsgate sets a theatrical release date for a new film in the “Blair Witch” franchise. Multiple outlets report the movie will arrive on September 24, 2027. The announcement is described as coming through a social media campaign, including a cryptic video unveiling the date. Coverage also states that Lionsgate is backing the reboot of the supernatural thriller, with the project positioned as a fresh take rather than a direct continuation. While none of the sources provide plot specifics, Variety quotes Lionsgate Motion Picture Group chair Adam Fogelson describing the film as a “new vision.”
Polygon adds that the movie is directed by a filmmaker who previously gained attention through YouTube horror short work before moving into feature directing. Beyond the release date and broad framing as a new vision, the outlets say detailed story information has not been released. The reports collectively indicate the franchise is returning to theaters next fall under Lionsgate’s production and distribution plan.
