While it doesn’t have the long, established genre cred of some other thriller franchises out there, The Strangers has been around since the breakout 2008 film, and has more than its share of fans. They were pretty much the only ones who stuck it out for the long-awaited sequel, 2018’s The Strangers: Prey At Night. And they are probably also the ones who are eagerly anticipating 2024, where not one, not two, but three new Strangers films will drop, courtesy of veteran filmmaker Renny Harlin.
It was announced last year that Harlin, the director behind Die Hard 2, Deep Blue Sea, and other ’90s flicks, would be directing a new trilogy of movies, starting with The Strangers: Chapter 1. Each film in the trilogy was shot concurrently, and are all expected to debut next year.
At New York Comic-Con, Lionsgate debuted the first clip from The Strangers: Chapter 1. The footage shows star Madelaine Petsch targeted by a stranger who keeps knocking on the door. Also in the cast are Froy Gutierrez and Gabriel Basso, along with Rachel Shenton, Gabriel Basso, and Ema Horvath, as well as Florian Clare and Rebecka Johnston.
No word on a release date, but we’ll let you know when to expect The Stranger: Chapter 1 in a theater near you.
