Evil Dead Burn, the next installment in the iconic horror franchise from Infested director Sébastien Vaniçek, has officially been dated for a 2026 release via Warner Bros. and New Line Cinema.
According to Deadline, Evil Dead Burn is set to hit theaters on July 24, 2026, boding well for a summer horror blockbuster.
Deadline also confirms that Dune: Part Two actress Souheila Yacoub will star.
Produced by Sam Raimi and Robert Tapert’s Ghost House Pictures, Evil Dead Burn will be the fifth entry in the Evil Dead franchise following Fedé Alvarez's 2013 Evil Dead remake and Lee Cronin‘s Evil Dead Rise. Plot details for Vaniçek's Deadite nightmare are still under wraps, but will apparently be “a nasty film, a film that hurts, from which you come away tested,” which is music to our ears, frankly.
Aside from Evil Dead Burn, we also have ANOTHER Evil Dead movie in the works from Last Stop in Yuma County‘s Francis Galluppi, which Ghost House are also producing, in line with Raimi's decision to handpick directors to helm standalone entries into the series he created back in 1981.
As you can imagine, Evil Dead Burn just shot straight to the top of our 2026 watchlist. Stay tuned for updates.
