Happy Death Day 3: Breaking News and Exclusive Updates!

Blumhouse had a successful year in 2023, with the releases of M3GAN and There's Something Wrong With The Children in the early months. Now, the horror production company is preparing for the highly anticipated October debut of David Gordon Green's The Exorcist: Believer.

Among the best horror releases from Blumhouse in the past, fans still enjoy revisiting Happy Death Day from 2017 and its 2019 sequel, Happy Death Day 2 U. These movies follow college student Tree Gelbman (played by Jessica Rothe) as she confronts the Babyface killer in a time loop. Fans are curious to know if there will be a Happy Death Day 3, considering the strong affection for the previous films and the potential for further storytelling.

What Happened At The End Of Happy Death Day 2 U?

Both Happy Death Day and Happy Death Day 2 U showcase The Babyface Killer, a standout horror villain from Blumhouse, praised for their innocent and charming facade. Happy Death Day 2 U reunites the witty Tree and her love interest Carter Davis (Israel Broussard), as they once again confront the relentless killer.

In the conclusion of Happy Death Day 2 U, Tree discovers that Dr. Butler (Charles Aitken) is the second Babyface. He turned to murder to hide his affair with college student Lori Spengler (Ruby Modine), betraying his wife Stephanie (Laura Clifton). After Dr. Butler kills his own wife, Tree takes matters into her own hands and eliminates him.

Is Happy Death Day 3 In The Works?

: With the activation of the time travel reactor, Tree is transported back in time to the desired period of September 19th. The climactic scene in Happy Death Day 2 U is just as side-splitting as the rest of the film. After being informed by agents that they need to find a suitable candidate to utilize the time travel machine, Tree cunningly identifies Danielle Bouseman, the leader of Kappa Pi Lambda sorority, for this crucial role. Considering Tree's lack of fondness for Danielle, this proves to be a brilliant decision. As Danielle abruptly awakens in her room and lets out a startled scream, it becomes evident that the cycle of events will commence once again.

Regrettably, there is currently no indication of Happy Death Day 3 being in the pipeline, a disheartening revelation for avid horror enthusiasts who eagerly await another installment in the series. Nonetheless, persistent speculation and interest surrounding a potential third movie have persisted. In June 2022, during an interview, Jason Blum divulged that he had engaged in discussions about Happy Death Day 3 with Christopher Landon over a shared meal.

According to Christopher Landon's February 2023 interview with The Hollywood Reporter, the third movie is actually larger in scale compared to the previous two films, which presents a challenge. Due to the second movie's underperformance, securing a bigger budget has become a difficult task. However, Landon remains hopeful that Universal will give him the opportunity, as he believes it would be an enjoyable conclusion to the series.

Landon also expressed similar sentiments to Cinemablend.com in February 2023, stating that both Jessica Rothe and Jason Blum, along with others who worked on the film, are still hopeful that the studio will reconsider. The team is prepared and eager to proceed, pending the studio's decision.

Could Happy Death Day 3 Crossover With Freaky?

Horror fans have been eagerly speculating about a potential crossover between Happy Death Day 3 and Freaky. Released in 2020, Freaky is regarded as one of the finest horror films, featuring the talents of Kathryn Newton and Vince Vaughn, who portray a teenage girl and a notorious serial killer known as The Blissful Butcher, respectively. Given that both movies share a playful and campy approach to horror, fans have been curious about the possibility of a crossover. Even Jessica Rothe, the star of Happy Death Day, expressed her enthusiasm for the idea. In a February 2023 interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Christopher Landon, the writer and director, addressed the question regarding the crossover, revealing that although there is currently no official plan for such a movie, he would be open to exploring the concept.

Landon acknowledges Jason Blum as the mastermind behind it all, with the power to bring their collaborative plans to life. While the desire to create something outrageously fantastic with Jessica and Kathryn is there, a proper discussion regarding such a project has not taken place yet. However, Landon expresses his unwavering determination to work with both of them again. Having written and directed the horror film We Have A Ghost on Netflix in 2023, which features David Harbour as a benevolent spirit confined to his former home, Landon's potential involvement in Happy Death Day 3 continues to ignite enthusiasm among horror fans who eagerly anticipate its realization.
