One of the stickiest franchises in cinema history is set to make a return next year with the recent announcement that Evil Dead Burn is now scheduled for release on July 24, 2026. It will be the sixth film in the Evil Dead franchise, following Evil Dead Rise in 2023, and according to the director, Sébastien Vaniček, his main focus is to mess audiences up like never before.
Speaking to Variety about the upcoming film, Vaniček discussed his disgusting plans for whatever hellish events await some unfortunate souls who give the Necronomicon a read-through when they absolutely shouldn't be. He described the 42-year-old franchise as “like a creative playground, a bold laboratory for filmmakers eager to explore something raw, brutal, and deeply transgressive.”
