Horror, Inc., under the leadership of the Barsamian family, has announced a new Friday the 13th film slated for global theatrical release in 2027.

Friday the 13th Part II and Friday the 13th Part III director Steve Miner will direct the new film from a script by David Fliegel.

“For generations of fans, Jason’s identity is inseparable from the creative choices Steve Miner brought to the screen,” said Robbie Barsamian, Executive Vice President of Horror, Inc. “Reuniting with Steve under a fully independent model allows us the creative control to honor what makes Jason the greatest slasher of all time and deliver the definitive theatrical event that today’s audiences expect.”

“When I put the hockey mask on Jason for Friday the 13th Part III, I knew it would create a truly scary image that would work for that movie,” said Miner. “I had no idea that it would live on as one of the most iconic symbols in horror films. I’m thrilled to come back and continue the legacy.”

“Jason is one of the most recognizable figures in cinema history,” said Chris McGurk, Chairman and CEO of Cineverse. “We have a proven track record of empowering uncompromising genre filmmaking and connecting it directly with passionate audiences, and are honored to be a part of bringing Jason back to theaters where he belongs.”

“Bringing an icon like Jason back to the screen requires dedication to craft and a deep respect for the fandom,” said Jeanette Volturno, Co-Founder of Catchlight Studios. “We’re excited to collaborate with Steve and Robbie to create a practically-shot film that is relentless, cinematic and terrifying.”

Cineverse has acquired the upcoming movie’s North America distribution rights, including theatrical. The film will be financed and produced by the Barsamians. CatchLight Studios is the production partner.
