The Fear Street trilogy scared audiences around the world with the story of Sarah Fier (Elizabeth Scopel) and how her legacy doomed the town of Shadyside for eternity. But the story will continue sooner than previously thought. Netflix has announced that a new movie titled Fear Street: Prom Queen will be available for streaming on the platform next year. Evil was seemingly vanquished by the time the credits rolled on Fear Street Part Three: 1666, but the cursed book that created the entire problem was taken by an unknown figure in a post-credit sequence. More will be revealed in the next installment of the story.

Fear Street 4 will be a standalone movie but may feature the return of some characters from the previous trilogy. Deena, the main character, may make a proper return or be mentioned by new characters in Fear Street 4. The Goode family, particularly Nick's brother William, could seek revenge in Fear Street 4 and use the spellbook for their own benefit.

Netflix’s Fear Street movie series will expand with a fourth movie, and there are a couple of characters from the previous movies who can return in some way. Netflix consistently adds horror content to its catalog, both TV shows and movies, but not all of them have been the big successes the platform expected. In 2021, Netflix brought the Fear Street trilogy, based on R. L. Stine’s book series of the same name. Netflix broke its binge-watch release style with Fear Street as the movies were released weekly,...

At Comic-Con@Home on Friday, Netflix unveiled a never-before-seen blooper reel for its acclaimed horror trilogy, Fear Street.

The three-parter directed by Leigh Janiak (Honeymoon) is based on R.L. Stine’s best-selling horror series of the same name, taking place in the years 1994, 1978 and 1666.

Part One picks up in ’94, watching as a group of teenagers discover that the terrifying events that have haunted their town for generations may all be connected—and that they may be the next target. Parts Two and Three offer a deeper dive into the sinister history of Shayside, following the town through a nightmare 300 years in the making.

Janiak wrote the script for Part One: 1994 with Phil Graziadei. She scripted Part Two: 1978 with Zak Olkewicz. Part Three: 1666 was penned by Graziadei, Janiak and Kate Trefry.

Part One’s cast included Kiana Madeira, Olivia Scott Welch, Benjamin Flores Jr., Julia Rehwald, Fred Hechinger, Ashley Zukerman, Maya Hawke,...

Surprise! As the “Fear Street” trilogy wraps up its run with one final entry — “Fear Street Part 3: 1666,” which hit Netflix in the wee hours of Friday morning — filmmaker Leigh Janiak still has plenty of tricks and twists up her sleeve. While the trilogy has long promised to journey back to 1666, Janiak’s film isn’t content to simply go back in time, but to also return the action to where it all started, at least cinematically: in 1994.

“We knew we wanted to go back to the 1600s, we always knew that,” Janiak said in a recent interview with IndieWire. “We also knew that we had to go back to the ’90s, because that was the present of our movies, that was the thing driving us forward. I wanted the characters, ultimately, to win and to feel like we were ending on some level of hope,...

It’s been an exciting few weeks, but we have finally made it to the conclusion of Leigh Janiak’s Fear Street trilogy, as she takes us back to the year 1666 where everything began with Sarah Fier’s curse that has a hold over the residents of Shadyside and has seemingly left those living in nearby Sunnyvale thriving and unaffected by the witch’s influence from beyond the grave. As someone who has really enjoyed both the 1994 and 1978 Fear Street installments of this series, I’m completely in awe of how well everything comes together in Fear Street Part Three: 1666, where we not only take a terrifying trip to the past that sheds new light on just what exactly happened to Sarah Fier, but also satisfyingly wraps up the story of Deena (Kiana Madeira), Sam (Olivia Scott Welch) and Josh (Benjamin Flores Jr.) as well, as they set out to...

Netflix’s “Fear Street” teaser stirred up buzz in May for two reasons: It revealed all three movies in the trilogy would roll out over three consecutive weeks in July, and it confirmed the movies would toughen up R.L. Stine’s PG-friendly books and make them R rated. Now comes the official trailer for the “Fear Street” trilogy, all installments of which are directed by Leigh Janiak.

Netflix’s official synopsis for the “Fear Street” trilogy reads: “In 1994, a group of teenagers discovers that the terrifying events that have haunted their town for generations may all be connected — and that they may be the next targets. Based on R.L. Stine’s best selling horror series, the trilogy follows the nightmare through Shadyside’s sinister history.”

“As a filmmaker making ‘Fear Street,’ but also just as a movie lover, I was so excited to pay homage to some of the great eras of horror movies,...
