As an ardent admirer, I’m thrilled to share that the talented Isabelle Fuhrman, who played the chilling role of Esther in “Orphan 3,” has dished out some tantalizing details about the upcoming horror installment. This sequel is a follow-up to last year’s “Orphan: First Kill,” which served as a prequel to the original 2009 film. In both movies, Fuhrman portrayed Esther, a girl who managed to flee from an Estonian psychiatric facility, only to assume the identity of a nine-year-old to mask her murderous activities. In a recent conversation with The Hollywood Reporter, Fuhrman hinted at the mind-bending script for “Orphan 3.

Initially, when they announced, “We’re planning another one,” my response was something along the lines of, “You people are crazy!” However, the script for what eventually became “Orphan 3” was so compelling that I found myself saying, “Alright! A full commitment. This is a fantastic idea, surprisingly.” (Fuhrman’s words)

Initiated by Director Jaume Collet-Serra’s film “Orphan”, the widely appreciated horror series garnered numerous favorable responses from viewers, although it received mixed opinions from critics. The revival of “Orphan: First Kill”, 13 years later under the guidance of filmmaker William Brent Bell, introduced a fresh audience to the franchise. Featuring Julia Stiles, Rossif Sutherland, and Hiro Kanagawa among its cast, this installment received more positive feedback than the original. Bell is set to direct “Orphan 3”, though a release date has yet to be announced.

Back in the tail end of 2023, the exciting news about the next chapter in the chilling saga of Orphan, dubbed Orphan 3, first broke. In a heart-pounding conversation with THR, the mastermind behind this thriller, Bell, shared his captivating vision: “I truly believe that the Orphan franchise, unlike many others, offers endless possibilities. Whether it’s a doll or a masked killer, she’s a fully-realized character on screen, much like Hannibal Lecter, and she’ll never grow old.

The hint at a third “Orphan” movie by director Fuhrman excites enthusiasts of both the series and the broader horror genre. Given the number of successful horror releases last year like The Substance, Heretic, Smile 2, Nosferatu, it seems that 2025 and beyond will continue to be promising for scary movies if 2024 is any guide. With the “Orphan” franchise poised to capitalize on its success with its third installment, Esther – the chilling horror antagonist and protagonist from just two films – has left a lasting impression in the genre and significantly impacted Fuhrman’s career, leading to prominent roles in The Hunger Games, After Earth, and The Novice. Fuhrman’s latest work, Wish You Were Here, debuted in theaters on January 17th this year.

The imaginative backstory and drive of “Orphan: First Kill” turned a single horror film into an engrossing series with potential for further installments, beyond the planned third movie. While the specific plot details of “Orphan 3” have yet to be revealed, fans can eagerly anticipate an exciting escalation in the “Orphan” tale. If “Orphan 3” receives favorable feedback akin to its predecessors, it’s probable that actress Isabelle Fuhrman will reappear in her leading role for future sequels.
