Jordan Peele’s fourth movie, previously slated for release on October 23, 2026, has been removed from Universal Pictures’ release calendar, according to recent reports. This update comes while audiences await the release of HIM, a horror film produced by Peele and directed by Justin Tipping, which is premiering in theaters this month. The latest change leaves fans uncertain about the timeline for Peele’s upcoming project.
Current Status and Previous Release Plans
The film is still in development, with production not yet underway. A source familiar with the project told Variety,
“Peele is currently at work on the film, which has yet to roll cameras.”
This untitled movie initially had a release date set for December 25, 2024, but that slot was later given to Robert Eggers’ Nosferatu, prompting a rescheduled release to late 2026 before its eventual removal.
