The Fear Street movies proved to be very popular, but they didn't quite do the type of viewership figures Netflix was expecting, with reports indicating that the streamer was hoping for a Stranger Things-level hit with the R-rated slasher trilogy.
For this reason, we weren't anticipating any more features based on R.L. Stine's best-selling books, but we have some very exciting news for fans.
According to Bloody Disgusting, Netflix is currently working on more Fear Street movies, and is already said to be "deep in development" on the project(s). We don't have much more to go on, but readers of Stine's source material might have some idea of what to expect.
The author hinted that more Fear Street might be on the way during a recent interview with Yahoo. “I hear rumors about more Fear Street movies for Netflix, because the first ones did so well last summer,” he told the site. “Those films kind of shocked me, because they were all R-rated, and I’ve never done anything R-rated! All those teenagers were getting slashed. I was like, ‘Suddenly, I have a slasher movie!’”
Leigh Janiak directed all three Fear Street movies and also co-wrote the scripts with Phil Graziadei. We have no idea if the same creative team will be involved for these new films, however.
