Netflix won’t be moving away from Fear Street anytime soon. After a trilogy of films released in 2021, the streamer is back with the fourth based on R.L. Stine’s horror novels. Fear Street: Prom Queen is the first to actually be based on a Stine story, 1992’s The Prom Queen, about a series of disappearances leading up to prom night.
Leading the cast is The Agency actress India Fowler, joined by Suzanna Son (Strawberry in Red Rocket), Katherine Waterston (Alien: Covenant), Lili Taylor (The Conjuring), Chris Klein (American Pie), Ariana Greenblatt (Barbie), Fina Strazza (Paper Girls), David Iacono (The Summer I Turned Pretty), and Ella Rubin (The Idea of You).
Watcher director Chloe Okuno had been set to direct the film but dropped out. Instead, it was directed by Matt Palmer, who co-wrote the script with Donald McLeary. Palmer made his directorial debut in 2018 with Netflix’s Calibre. Three more Fear Street movies are reportedly on the way, according to Stine.
SYNOPSIS: Welcome back to Shadyside. In this next installment of the blood-soaked ‘Fear Street’ franchise, prom season at Shadyside High is underway and the school’s wolfpack of It Girls is busy with its usual sweet and vicious campaigns for the crown. But when a gutsy outsider puts herself in the running, and the other girls start mysteriously disappearing, the class of ’88 is suddenly in for one hell of a prom night.
Fear Street: Prom Queen hits Netflix on May 23rd.
