What's Next for Jordan Peele? Everything We Know About His Fourth Film (So Far)

"Do we know what movie Jordan Peele is working on next? Nope. Are we trying to figure it out anyway? Yup. With the football horror flick HIMproduced by Peele and directed by Justin Tippingnow in theaters, audiences are scrounging the Internet to try and uncover what Peele is working on for his next movie. Will he make another sports thriller? The jury's still out on if HIM is a misunderstood classic or a benchwarmer, but the possibilities for Peele's fourth film are wide open."

"In 2017, the Oscar-winning screenwriter and auteur transitioned from TV sketch comedy to blockbuster horror films. His freshman feature Get Out, which tells of a Black man who discovers the monstrous truth of his white girlfriend's family, was a massive hit in its exploration of racial divides and the historical exploitation of Black bodies. He found further success with Us in 2019 and the unnerving Nope in 2022. Whatever Peele's fourth feature film is about will surely beckon audiences back to the theaters."

"Originally scheduled to release back on Christmas Day 2024, the project was delayed indefinitely following the 2023 Hollywood labor strikes. Universal Studios eventually set a new date for October 23, 2026. Then, earlier this month, the movie was quietly removed from Universal's release calendar entirely. As of now, Peele's fourth movie has no release date. This isn't to say that Peele's movie is canceled. As Variety reported, Peele is still "currently at work" on the film."

Jordan Peele's next film remains unannounced and shrouded in uncertainty despite audience speculation following his production of HIM. The project missed an original Christmas Day 2024 release due to the 2023 Hollywood labor strikes, was later set for October 23, 2026, and then quietly removed from Universal's release calendar. Peele is described as 'currently at work' on the film, but there is no title, plot summary, or release date. Peele transitioned from TV sketch comedy to acclaimed horror with Get Out, Us, and Nope, and the next project might appear as a video game rather than a theatrical release.
