Insidious 6 officially confirmed: Here's all you need to know 

On May 17, Blumhouse Productions announced the release date for the sixth installment of Insidious, one of the most well-known horror franchises. Having spanned a total of five movies thus far, the franchise follows the lives of Dalton and Lorraine Lambert, a couple-turned-paranormal investigators who are troubled due to Lorraine’s connection with The Further, a forbidden place populated by some of the most evil spirits of the universe.

While the first movie of the series came out way back in 2010, the most recent one titled, Insidious: The Red Door, came out in July 2023 and set the overall series for a change in direction. The movies thus far have majorly revolved around the Lorraine family, however, The Red Door concluded with a range of spirits seemingly entering from the sealed door, as a post-credits scene saw the light being turned on in the room, from outside.

Now, Insidious 6 has been confirmed to be in production and is set to be released on August 29, 2025.

Insidious 6 set to hit theaters in August 2025

While the movie had long been rumored to be under production, the release date has finally been confirmed by Blumhouse Productions. Arguably its most popular franchise, Insidious is set to enter a new phase as the creators attempt to move on from the story that made it extremely popular in the first place.

A mainstay in the world of horror since 2010, the series has been created by Leigh Whannell and had James Wan as the director initially. However, the last iteration, The Red Door, was directed by Patrick Wilson who also starred in the movie.

As per Veriety, the series has grossed a total of $730 million from five projects, which has been a result of a very modest combined budget of $42.5 million. The Red Door grossed $189 million worldwide and the creators will be hoping that the 6th movie in the franchise can build on the success of its past.

While the story revolving around the Lamberts has effectively concluded, Insidious has also recently received a spin-off in the form of Thread: An Insidious Tale. The movie does not have a release date thus far but will be directed by Jeremy Slater and is set to star the likes of Mandy Moore and Kumail Nanjiani.

Amidst such exciting times for Insidious fans, the announcement of a 6th movie does not accompany many details about the upcoming project. The plot details have thus far remained a mystery, with no clarity on the characters the series is set to delve into, for the future.

Regardless, some familiar faces can be expected to return, considering the franchise’s tendency to bring back actors from its past. Hence, as fans await more news regarding the upcoming project, the creators will be working on the production for the time being.

While the release date of August 25, 2025, has been confirmed, there are a range of factors that might play a role in postponing it. The rest, as they say, only time will reveal.
