Share
Jordan Peele, known for his unique horror movies, has shared the release date for his next film. This new movie will come out on October 23, 2026. This date is much later than the originally planned release of December 25, 2024.
Peele announced this news on his social media account on X, formerly known as Twitter. His upcoming film is his first project since his 2022 movie, Nope, which starred Daniel Kaluuya and Keke Palmer as siblings trying to record a mysterious flying object.
While Jordan Peele has not shared many details about the plot of his new film, it is expected to be a horror movie, similar to his previous works. Peele’s first movie, Get Out, featured Daniel Kaluuya and combined horror with social commentary, earning $255 million worldwide and winning Peele an Oscar for Best Original Screenplay. His next movie, Us, also mixed horror with deep social themes, was another box office hit.
Nope is Jordan Peele’s third film, following his earlier works Get Out and Us. Known for his transition from comedy to horror, Peele’s films are rich in symbolism and social commentary, particularly regarding the Black American experience.
Nope, released in 2022, is a sci-fi horror that centres on the Haywood siblings, OJ and Emerald, played by Daniel Kaluuya and Keke Palmer.
They are horse trainers on their California farm, which becomes the site of terrifying events involving a mysterious UFO. The film combines the thrill of sci-fi horror with a profound narrative depth, examining themes of spectacle, exploitation, and the quest for authenticity.
For fans of Nope looking for similar movies that blend sci-fi elements with horror and thought-provoking themes, there are several other films that fit this niche.
These movies are selected based on their ability to entertain while also making viewers think, and they are rated by their popularity and critical responses on platforms like IMDb and Rotten Tomatoes.
