‘Halloween Kills’ 2020, ‘Halloween Ends’ 2021 Announced!

Blumhouse’s Halloween sequels are happening, as John Carpenter just officially announced that Halloween Kills is coming on October 16, 2020, to be followed by Halloween Ends on October 15, 2021!

Carpenter himself tweeted the official announcement video today (7/19/19) confirming that not one, but two sequels are on the way. This was followed by a tweet from Jamie Lee Curtis, who will reprise her iconic role as Laurie Strode, promising, “I’m just WARMING UP”.

Halloween Kills, is set for theatrical release on Friday, October 16th, 2020, with David Gordon Green returning to direct from a script he co-wrote with returning collaborator Danny McBride and newcomer Scott Teems.

Halloween Ends, intended as the finale of the saga, will be released on Friday, October 15th, 2021. Green will direct as well, from a script he co-wrote with McBride and writers new to the series, Paul Brad Logan, and Chris Bernier.

Based on characters created by series originator John Carpenter and Debra Hill, Halloween Kills and Halloween Ends will be produced by Malek Akkad, Jason Blum, and Bill Block. Green, McBride, Carpenter, Jamie Lee Curtis, Jeanette Volturno, Couper Samuelson, and Ryan Freimann will serve as executive producers, with Ryan Turek overseeing both projects for Blumhouse.

As we previously reported, the Halloween sequel will relocate production from Charleston, South Carolina, where the 2018 Halloween was shot, to Wilmington, North Carolina, with filming to begin soon.

Judy Greer, Andi Matichak are also expected to reprise their respective roles as Laurie’s daughter and granddaughter, and we fully expect James Jude Courtney and Nick Castle to continue their collaboration in portraying Michael Myers in the new films.

You can watch the official announcement video below.

UPDATE: Blumhouse has now confirmed the filming location for both sequels to be Wilmington, NC.

Stay tuned as we continue to update this breaking story!
