Orphan 3 Announced With Isabelle Fuhrman Returning as Esther, But How?

As a dedicated follower of horror films, having witnessed countless chilling tales unfold on the silver screen, I can confidently say that the return of the enigmatic Esther in “Orphan 3” is an exciting development that has sent shivers down my spine. The first two installments of this franchise have left me captivated and anxious for more, and I eagerly await the continuation of her haunting story.


It’s quite unexpected, but one of the most intriguing horror series has some fresh news this week. The tale of the Orphan, featuring Isabelle Fuhrman, is set to return for a third installment. Our leading lady will once again step into her cherished role. At present, specifics about the new Orphan movie are limited, but production is definitely underway, picking up the storyline of Esther.

On Monday evening, it was announced by Variety that production for Orphan 3 has been officially approved by Lionsgate. Isabelle Fuhrman is set to reprise her main role in this sequel, while David Coggeshall (writer of Orphan: First Kill) and William Brent Bell (director of the franchise) will also be returning. Dark Castle Entertainment is responsible for producing this third installment, which Lionsgate will distribute.

Dark Castle Entertainment’s co-CEO, Norman Golightly, is thrilled to share that the Orphan series is about to unveil another chilling installment. With the previous films’ success and a fresh, pulse-pounding plotline, we believe Orphan 3 will be an essential watch for both longtime fans of the franchise and newcomers eager to join the thrill.

The main inquiry at present is about the nature of the narrative unfolding around Esther in “Orphan 3“. Previously, “Orphan: First Kill ” served as a prequel to the original “Orphan” movie, featuring Fuhrman reprising her role as the woman disguised as a child at age 30-something. Despite seeming improbable, another prequel appears to be the most logical choice for the series, considering that a sequel to the first “Orphan” seems unlikely.

In the initial version of ‘Orphan’, it concludes with the demise of Esther. This occurs when Kate, who thought she was adopting an nine-year-old girl by taking in Esther, ends up killing her. As Esther began to seek out her family, Kate responded and eventually snapped Esther’s neck. She then watched as Esther plunged into the dark waters of a frozen lake.

Regardless of the direction the upcoming “Orphan” movie chooses, there’s a strong likelihood that it will prove profitable for Dark Castle and Lionsgate, with Lionsgate managing international distribution for the film. This week, “Orphan 3” is being showcased at the American Film Market.

In the realm of cinema, I’ve been part of an intriguing journey with the “Orphan” films. The original “Orphan,” released in 2009, was a blockbuster hit, raking in over $12 million in North America on its opening weekend alone. By the time the final credits rolled, it had amassed a staggering $78 million worldwide. Even more surprising, the recent release of “Orphan: First Kill” in 2022, which was simultaneously shown in theaters and on Paramount+, managed to gross an impressive $45 million globally.
