Summary
Sept. 24, 2027 is the release date for Lionsgate’s new Blair Witch chapter, with Dylan Clark directing and Chris Thomas Devlin writing and reportedly revising the script.
Plot details remain undisclosed, but Lionsgate’s teaser points to a modernized found-footage approach that updates the 1999 film’s analog terror for a smartphone era.
Joshua Leonard and Michael C. Williams from the original film are executive producing alongside co-creators Daniel Myrick and Eduardo Sánchez, while Gregg Hale returns as producer.
The reboot leans on a powerful commercial legacy: the 1999 original grossed $248 million on a $35,000 budget, while later sequels in 2000 and 2016 drew weaker reviews.
