Warner Brothers Pictures has announced that the long-awaited sequel to the 1984 classic "Gremlins" will not be hitting theaters in the fall of 2027 as originally planned. Instead, the movie, written and directed by Christopher Columbus, will now be released on October 6, 2028. The film's draft is being written by Hannah Marks from a screenplay penned by Columbus, Zach Lipovsky, and Adam Stein.
It is being produced by Kristie Macosko Krieger, Holly Bario for Amblin Entertainment alongside Chris Columbus, Michael Barnathan and Mark Radcliffe of 26th Street Pictures. Steven Spielberg is executive producing alongside Eleanor Columbus of Maiden Voyage. The sequel, titled "Gremlins 3," was originally set to debut on June 20, 2028, but its release date has been pushed back by three months.
The "Gremlins" franchise, which began with the 1984 film directed by Joe Dante, has been a dark comedy about mischievous creatures that wreak havoc during Christmas. The original film was so violent that it led to the creation of the PG-13 rating. Columbus has previously stated his preference for using stop-motion puppets rather than CGI for the sequel.
