Evil Dead 7 Locks Release Window — Here’s When It Arrives
Deadites rise again: Warner Bros. is driving Evil Dead Wrath into active development, teasing a release window as the seventh chapter of the cult-splattered franchise edges toward filming.
The Deadites are clocking in again. Warner Bros. just kicked off production on Evil Dead Wrath, the seventh movie in the long-running splatterfest, and it looks like the franchise is speeding up rather than slowing down.
What WB just locked in
Evil Dead Wrath is officially rolling cameras. WB positioned it as the next entry after Evil Dead Burn, which is already dated for July 24, 2026. The studio paired the update with a quick title tease that leans into the series vibe: the classic blocky font, a grimy retro finish, and those big, ominous horn stings. Plot details remain under wraps, but the clock is clearly ticking.
So when could it hit?
With production underway now, a release as early as next year feels plausible, although an official Evil Dead Wrath date remains unannounced. The pace here is the headline: WB clearly wants minimal downtime between chapters.
Who is making it
Francis Galluppi, fresh off the critically acclaimed The Last Stop in Yuma County, is directing. He follows a recent tradition of Sam Raimi backing new voices to take a swing at the series: Fede Alvarez (Evil Dead, 2013), Lee Cronin (Evil Dead Rise), and Sebastien Vanicek (Evil Dead Burn). Wrath stepping in line while Burn is still months out is a fun bit of franchise leapfrogging.
The cast and the approach
This one keeps the anthology energy going with a brand-new ensemble. None of the actors here appeared in Evil Dead Rise or the upcoming Evil Dead Burn:
- Charlotte Hope
- Jessica McNamee
- Zach Gilford
- Josh Helman
- Ella Newton
- Elizabeth Cullen
- Ella Oliphant
Bottom line: cameras are rolling, the teaser’s out, and the seventh Evil Dead is officially in motion. If Wrath stays on schedule, the date reveal should not be far behind.
