Netflix’s popular Fear Street slasher franchise is back, and the next installment, Fear Street: Prom Queen, is set to release on May 23, 2025.

The story follows Fowler, a young woman, as she competes in the tough race to be prom queen. As one by one, the other contestants mysteriously vanish, Fowler has to find out who killed them. The movie takes place during prom season at a high school, where a group of "It Girls" compete to be named Prom Queen.
The director, Matt Palmer, mentions in an interview with TUDUM,
“We dig much deeper down into high school and family life in this installment and find that, again, so many of the challenges that ’80s kids faced still seem to totally resonate today.”

Fear Street: Prom Queen will officially begin streaming on Netflix on May 23, 2025. This release marks the fourth installment in the Fear Street series.
In Fear Street: Prom Queen, which takes place in 1988 at Shadyside High, prom season has already begun. It girls at school are busy trying to get votes for prom queen by being sweet and mean at the same time, which is how they usually do things. But the race goes in a dark direction when an unexpected outsider joins.
As the other prom queen contestants start to go missing for unknown reasons, the students at Shadyside High are caught in a dangerous game.
In the story, Fowler, a brave girl who has been nominated for prom queen, tries to figure out who killed her friends. With each new disappearance, it becomes clear that someone at the high school is planning to kill them.
When asked, Director and co-writer Matt Palmer states to Tudum,
“With Senior Prom just two days away the race for prom queen is already heating up, but when somebody starts slaughtering the prom queen candidates, all hell is set to break loose. Think classic 80s slasher and all the fun that entails, but with compelling characters, needle drops, dancing and a whole lot more!”
