Jordan Peele is set to make a triumphant return to the big screen! Universal has just announced that Peele's next feature will be released on October 23, 2026. It's no surprise that he chose Halloween as the perfect time to make his comeback, considering his impressive track record in spine-chilling horror films.
The yet-untitled movie was earlier slated for December 25, 2024, but its production was delayed due to dual strikes by the Writers Guild of America (WGA) and Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (SAG-AFTRA). Known for his directorial debut with 2017’s Get Out, a film that earned Peele an original screenplay Oscar, he followed it up with the flick Us and 2022's Nope.

Peele has also been a prolific producer in film and TV through his Monkeypaw Productions company. In an age where it is hard to bring people back to theaters, especially with the rise of streaming platforms like Netflix and Amazon Prime Video, Peele has retained his record of attracting viewers with his masterpieces so far.
