We’ll have to wait a little while longer for Jordan Peele’s next movie

We’ll have to wait a little while longer for the next Jordan Peele movie.

Fans of Oscar-winning filmmaker Jordan Peele will have to wait a little while longer for his next film.

The Get Out and Us writer and director has dated his fourth project for Oct. 23, 2026, which is roughly four years after his 2022 blockbuster thriller Nope.

While Peele keeps a healthy roster of producing credits for his Monkeypaw Productions, the 2026 film at Universal is his next official directing credit.

His fourth film was originally slated for release this Christmas, but the 2023 Hollywood strikes likely delayed production on the project.

While more than two years is a daunting wait for one of the most celebrated auteurs of his generation, Peele’s track record is more than enough to keep us waiting for what he’s got up his sleeve next.

Until then, we’ll just keep rewatching his previous films and keep our eye out for the Monkeypaw films slated for release ahead of Peele’s next film, like the Peele-produced 2025 football thriller Him.

Jordan Peele’s next terrifying movie now has a release date

Mark your calendars.

Since the release of 2017’s Get Out, writer/director Jordan Peele has been permanently implanting nightmares into the minds of audiences across the country. His subsequent films, Us and Nope, each upped the ante when it comes to Peele’s trademark blend of horror and social commentary, and there’s no sign that Peele is planning to stop terrorizing our brains anytime soon.

Entertainment reporter Erik Davis reports that Peele’s fourth film now has a release date: Christmas Day 2024. Like Peele’s first three films, the as-yet-untitled film will be distributed by Universal, a studio with a hugely successful track record when it comes to horror films in recent years.

So what do we know about what Peele’s next film might be? There aren’t any known details as of now, but Peele has dropped a few breadcrumbs over the years that give us some clues.

Firstly, Peele said during the promotional campaign for Get Out that the film was the first of five ideas he had exploring what he called “social demons”. Assuming that both Us and Nope also fit that category (and I’d say they definitely do), that means he still has two more of those original five ideas that have yet to be revealed.

Peele has also made some comments suggesting that he could be interested in a sort of sequel or spinoff to Nope. In recent interviews, Peele confirmed that a shot in the trailer for the film shows a character that was ultimately cut from the film, a character listed in the credits as “Nobody” and played by comedian Michael Busch. Nothing is known about the character but in the deleted shot in the trailer he appears to be walking into a television studio, a location where something horrific takes place in Nope.

“The story of that character has yet to be told,” Peele said in an interview. “I do think they will get more answers on some of these things in the future. We’re not over telling all of these stories.”
