Last Halloween season marked the release of Halloween Ends, the final film in a three-film trilogy from director David Gordon Green. Billed as the FINAL battle – really, this time! – between Laurie Strode and Michael Myers, Halloween Ends wrapped up not only Gordon Green’s sequel trilogy but also Universal and Blumhouse’s time with the iconic horror franchise.
The sequel trilogy was produced by Blumhouse Productions and released into theaters by Universal Pictures as part of a pact with Miramax, and the ball is now back in Miramax’s court.
So what’s next for the Halloween franchise? Bloody Disgusting can exclusively report that Miramax is actively shopping the rights to the Halloween franchise around Hollywood.
From what we understand, there is a massive bidding war going on right now, with several different parties interested and vying for the chance to bring Michael Myers back to life.
Bloody Disgusting’s sources have also indicated that Miramax is open to both film and television projects, and they’re currently taking offers from studios and streamers alike.
Everything is on the table at this time, and it’s ultimately up to Miramax to field pitches and decide what is most appealing to them in the wake of Gordon Green’s sequel trilogy.
Last year’s Halloween Ends was the thirteenth installment in the Halloween franchise, which to date has never made its way onto the small screen. Could Michael Myers return with a television series? Or is another feature film reboot next up on the menu? Only time will tell.
Stay tuned for more on all things Halloween as we learn it. In the meantime, comment down below us and let us know what YOU would like to see next from the Halloween franchise.
Only one thing is certain. Michael Myers WILL be back…
