News of the trailer’s release was hinted at through multiple actors from the film uploading their respective character stills from the movie, contrasted with infrared versions of the stills. Fox also tweeted a short teaser counting down in Yautja (the predator’s native language) to spell out “tomorrow”.

Shane Black’s The Predator had experienced a delay in its initial release and the location of the film was kept under wraps until recently. Contrary to the tagline– “You’ll never see him coming”–fans of the deadly hunter race can expect to see the series’ next installment by September 14th of this year.
The hunt begins (once again) among the trees and foliage of a small suburban (Earth) town, set far away from the street lights of concrete jungles and alien planets.
It’s still debated if this is a sequel or reboot of the Predator franchise, but it may be safe to assume this film’s timeline occurs after 1990’s Predator 2 since Jake Busey plays “The Son of Peter Keyes”, Gary Busey’s character in the second movie.

After years of anticipation, a trailer has certainly been due, and we are ecstatic to witness some spinal cords be severed, and for a rag-tag group of ex-soldiers to save the planet from a sadistic and malicious tribe of predators.
While Keegan-Michael Key has been focusing on acting with his role in The Predator, his long-time co-host from Key & Peele, Jordan Peele, has released an official poster to tease his new horror film Us. You can check out more details on the poster and Jordan Peele in our article here.

’47 Meters Down’ Getting Third Movie Called ‘The Wreck’
Deadline is reporting that a new 47 Meters Down installment is heading into production, making the shark series a trilogy.
“Series creator Johannes Roberts, and screenwriter Ernest Riera, who wrote the first two films, have co-written the third installment: 47 Meters Down: The Wreck.” Patrick Lussier (My Bloody Valentine) will direct.
The first two films were a moderate success, released in 2017 and 2019 respectively. The second film is titled 47 Meters Down: Uncaged.
The plot for The Wreck is detailed by Deadline. They write that it involves a father and daughter trying to repair their relationship by spending time together scuba diving into a sunken ship, “But soon after their descent, their master diver has an accident leaving them alone and unprotected inside the labyrinth of the wreck. As tensions rise and oxygen dwindles, the pair must use their newfound bond to escape the wreck and the relentless barrage of bloodthirsty great white sharks.”
The filmmakers are hoping to present the pitch to the Cannes market with production starting in the fall.
“47 Meters Down: The Wreck is the perfect continuation of our shark-filled franchise,” said Byron Allen, founder/chairman/CEO of Allen Media Group. “This film will once again have moviegoers terrified and on the edge of their seats.”
Johannes Roberts adds, “We can’t wait for audiences to be trapped underwater with us again. 47 Meters Down: The Wreck is going to be the biggest, most-intense film of this franchise.”

‘Wednesday’ Season Two Drops New Teaser Video That Reveals Full Cast
Netflix announced this morning that Wednesday season 2 is finally entering production. Fans have been waiting a long time for more of the creepy icon. Season one of Wednesday premiered in November of 2022.
In our new world of streaming entertainment, it isn’t uncommon for shows to take years to release a new season. If they release another one at all. Even though we will likely have to wait quite a while to see the show, any news is good news.
The new season of Wednesday looks to have an amazing cast. Jenna Ortega (Scream) will be reprising her iconic role as Wednesday. She will be joined by Billie Piper (Scoop), Steve Buscemi (Boardwalk Empire), Evie Templeton (Return to Silent Hill), Owen Painter (The Handmaid’s Tale), and Noah Taylor (Charlie and the Chocolate Factory).
We will also get to see some of the amazing cast from season one making a return. Wednesday season 2 will feature Catherine-Zeta Jones (Side Effects), Luis Guzman (Genie), Issac Ordonez (A Wrinkle in Time), and Luyanda Unati Lewis-Nyawo (Devs).
If all of that star power wasn’t enough, the legendary Tim Burton (The Nightmare Before Christmas) will be directing the series. As a cheeky nod from Netflix, this season of Wednesday will be titled Here We Woe Again.
We don’t know much about much about what Wednesday season two will entail. However, Ortega has stated that this season will be more horror focused. “We’re definitely leaning into a little bit more horror. It’s really, really exciting because, all throughout the show, while Wednesday does need a little bit of an arc, she never really changes and that’s the wonderful thing about her.”
That’s all the information that we have. Make sure to check back here for more news and updates.

A24 Reportedly “Pulls Plug” On Peacock’s ‘Crystal Lake’ Series
Film studio A24 might not be going forward with its planned Peacock Friday the 13th spinoff called Crystal Lake according to Fridaythe13thfranchise.com. The website quotes entertainment blogger Jeff Sneider who made a statement on his webpage through a subscription paywall.
“I’m hearing that A24 has pulled the plug on Crystal Lake, its planned Peacock series based on the Friday the 13th franchise featuring masked killer Jason Voorhees. Bryan Fuller was due to executive produce the horror series.
It’s unclear whether this is a permanent decision or a temporary one, as A24 had no comment. Perhaps Peacock will help the trades shed more light on this project, which was announced back in 2022.”
Back in January 2023, we reported that some big names were behind this streaming project including Bryan Fuller, Kevin Williamson, and Friday the 13th Part 2 final girl Adrienne King.
“‘Crystal Lake info from Bryan Fuller! They officially start writing in 2 weeks (writers are here in the audience).” tweeted social media writer Eric Goldman who tweeted the info while attending a Friday the 13th 3D screening event in January 2023. “It will have two scores to choose from – a modern one and a classic Harry Manfredini one. Kevin Williamson is writing an episode. Adrienne King will have a recurring role. Yay! Fuller has pitched four seasons for Crystal Lake. Only one officially ordered so far though he notes Peacock would have to pay a pretty hefty penalty if they didn’t order a Season 2. Asked if he can confirm Pamela’s role in the Crystal Lake series, Fuller replied ‘We’re honestly going to be covering it all. The series is covering the life and times of these two characters’ (presumably he’s referring to Pamela and Jason there!)'”
Whether or not Peacock is moving forward with the project is unclear and since this news is secondhand information, it still has to be verified which will require Peacock and/or A24 to make an official statement which they have yet to do.
But keep checking back to iHorror for the latest updates to this developing story.
