If you couldn’t get enough of the Fear Street movies in 2021, I have good news: There’s a new Fear Street movie, Fear Street: Prom Queen, that began streaming on Netflix on Friday.
Directed by Matt Palmer, who also co-wrote the script with Donald McLeary, Fear Street: Prom Queen is a standalone entry into the franchise based on the R.L. Stine Fear Street book series. The all-new cast stars India Fowler as Lori Granger, a Shadyside High senior in 1988 who wants to win Prom Queen to redeem her family’s name. Lori faces stiff competition from Shadyside’s resident mean girl, Tiffany (Fina Strazza), and Tiffany’s lackeys. But the crown starts to lose its shine when a masked killer starts murdering the Prom Queen candidates off, one by one.
If you stuck around for the Fear Street: Prom Queen mid-credits scene, then you know that the movie leaves the door wide open for more Fear Street movies. Read on to learn what we know about the possibility of a Fear Street: Prom Queen sequel, and what we know about future Fear Street movies.
As of now, there are no official plans for a Fear Street: Prom Queen sequel movie with the same cast.
When asked in an interview with Decider whether she’d talked to Netflix about coming back for a sequel, star India Fowler replied, “At the moment, I don’t know. I know as much as you do. My heart’s with that film. I love everyone who was involved, and I love the Fear Street universe. It would be interesting to see what they could do with it.”
Earlier this year, author R.L. Stine told The Hollywood Reporter that at least three more Fear Street movies were in development. “The writers are working,” Stine said. “So I’ve got my fingers crossed.”
However, Stine did not clarify which stories were being adapted, whether the Fear Street movies were being written for Netflix, or whether they would be connected to the 2021 Fear Street movies. Another one of Stine’s stories, Goosebumps: The Vanishing, was recently adapted as a Disney+ series, so there’s no guarantee that these possible three upcoming Fear Street films would connect to the Netflix films. “In development” is a very loose term in the industry, that often doesn’t result in movies getting made.
However, if Fear Street: Prom Queen is a hit for Netflix, we have a feeling the streamer would fight for the rights for more Fear Street movies. For now, we’ll just have to wait and see.
