Jordan Peele appears to have landed on a release date for his next horror flick: Oct. 23, 2026, according to a Monday social media post. The project marks Peele’s fourth feature film as a director, just in time for spooky season. A cast, synopsis, and other details have been yet to be announced.

Universal Pictures added “Untitled Fourth Film Directed By Jordan Peele” to its 2026 movie release calendar. The film was originally slated for Christmas 2024, but was delayed due to the dual actor and writers’ strikes last year, as Variety reported. Peele, known for his acting in sketch comedy show Key & Peele, produced his three previous horror films — Get Out, Us, and Nope — with Universal Pictures.

In a 2019 cover story, Rolling Stone spoke with Peele ahead of the release of Us. “It’s important to me that we can tell Black stories without it being about race,” Peele said at the time. “I realized I had never seen a horror movie of this kind, where there’s an African American family at the center that just is.

“After you get over the initial realization that you’re watching a Black family in a horror film, you’re just watching a movie. You’re just watching people,” he contineud. “I feel like it proves a very valid and different point than Get Out, which is, not everything is about race. Get Out proved the point that everything is about race. I’ve proved both points!”

A representative for Peele did not immediately respond to Rolling Stone‘s request for comment about the upcoming project.
