Five Nights at Freddy’s 3 Rumor Points to 2027 Movie Release

by

We’re nearly at the one-year mark until the debut of “Five Nights at Freddy’s 2”, and it appears that Blumhouse and Universal Pictures could be cooking up some significant plans for the movie franchise. As shared by @Katsterlingfan on Twitter, a reliable source has hinted that filming for the third installment in the FNAF series might commence six months following the sequel’s release, with an estimated premiere in 2027, potentially towards the end of the year. It should be noted that @Katsterlingfan boasts a considerable following on this platform and has generally been trusted by FNAF fans, but they also advised their followers to “approach this information with caution.

Considering the timeline, it’s not unthinkable that Five Nights at Freddy’s 3 might come out in 2027. If Five Nights at Freddy’s 2 is released on December 5th, it will have been roughly 2 years since the first film was out. A late-year 2027 release for a third movie could be considered ambitious, but it’s not implausible given the success of the initial film. It’s likely that Blumhouse and Universal would want to cash in on this success, potentially starting production with only a brief gap in between.

It’s clear that circumstances can shift. The first “Five Nights at Freddy’s” movie grossed over $297 million at the box office on a budget of just $20 million. Remarkably, this success was achieved even though the film was simultaneously released on Peacock for streaming. This achievement established a new benchmark for Blumhouse Productions, and it wouldn’t be surprising if they planned a series of sequels. However, should the second movie fail to meet expectations, plans could quickly adapt.

The popular video game franchise, Five Nights at Freddy’s, had already achieved immense success with its games and merchandise when the first movie was released in cinemas. With a dedicated fanbase and Hollywood showing growing interest in adapting video games, it’s not surprising that Blumhouse and Universal are aiming for similar levels of achievement as the Sonic the Hedgehog series has achieved with Paramount. While we can’t predict if more sequels will follow, there’s a strong possibility that a third film is in the works, given recent rumors.

Currently, information regarding “Five Nights at Freddy’s 2” is scarce. A teaser poster for the film was unveiled in October 2024, showcasing Toy Freddy from the games. It has been confirmed that some characters from the original cast will reappear in the sequel, with Josh Hutcherson returning as protagonist Mike Schmidt and Matthew Lillard resuming his role as William Afton. As the year progresses, we can expect more details about the sequel to surface, possibly even some insights into Blumhouse and Universal’s future plans!
